Tailcat: A Netcat Alternative Using Tailscale's Data Plane
Tailcat is an open-source tool that enables secure, peer-to-peer communication using Tailscale's data plane without requiring Tailscale's control plane. It leverages WireGuard encryption and DERP relays for NAT traversal, offering a lightweight alternative to traditional netcat with no admin privileges needed.
