tailscale/tailcat: A Netcat Alternative Over Tailscale's Data Plane

like netcat, but over Tailscale's data plane, without Tailscale's control plane

AI-generated summary

Tailcat reimagines netcat for use over Tailscale's data plane, offering encrypted point-to-point tunnels without requiring Tailscale's control plane. It leverages Tailscale's `magicsock` for NAT traversal and DERP relays, enabling secure communication between two machines using WireGuard encryption. The tool operates entirely in userspace, eliminating the need for root access or system modifications.
