Tailcat – Like netcat, but over Tailscale’s data plane
Tailcat is a new open-source tool that leverages Tailscale's data plane to provide encrypted, peer-to-peer networking without requiring a central control plane. It functions similarly to netcat, allowing users to establish secure connections using connection tokens and DERP relays.
Why it matters
It provides a lightweight, decentralized method for secure file and data transfer, increasing accessibility to robust networking tools for developers.
