Ncat AUTHORS
============

Ncat is based on the original "Netcat" written by Hobbit (hobbit@avian.org) cira
1994. Ncat combines the original Netcat feature set as well as various other 
ideas from other "Netcat"-like products, such as CryptCat, SOcat, GNU Netcat, etc.

Ncat was written from the ground up by Chris Gibson (chris@linuxops.net) and was
funded by the Google Summer of Code Programme (2005)

The Ncat requirements, ideas and general support were given by Fyodor (fyodor@insecure.org)

Many helpful comments, suggestions and other useful information was taken from 
the nmap-dev list at insecure.org as well as other contributors via email.

Ncat shares the Nmap infrastructure libraries (nsock & nbase) which were 
originally written by Fyodor (fyodor@insecure.org) and are property of Insecure.org LLC.
