dd and netcat coming together

"dd" coupled with "netcat" can allow cloning an entire hard disk to another server/PC on Intranet or Internet as binary image for forensics analysis.

This is really useful and avoid the need to open the PC case to dismantle the hard disk for the binary image replication:


Forensics(192.168.1.7)% nc -l 37337 | dd of=/dev/hda

Evidence% dd if=/dev/hdb | nc 192.168.1.7 37337
