I am trying to use mbuffer (from ports) to send/receive over the network like this
receiver :
sender :
the sender always fails:
I can nmap the receiver and it shows the port is closed
I can run this on the local ip 127.0.0.1, same error
the error seems suspicious, why the inverted bytes in the IP address ?
There is no firewall on this machine.
If I use netcat on the same ports, it works.
Am doing something wrong, or is there a bug in mbuffer ? anyone uses it that way, or can test ?
receiver :
mbuffer -I 8000 -o /dev/null
sender :
mbuffer -i /dev/zero -O 192.168.137.117:8000
the sender always fails:
Code:
bruno@proliant6:~ $ mbuffer -i /dev/zero -O 192.168.137.117:8000
mbuffer: warning: error connecting to tcp/117.137.168.192:8000: Connection refused
mbuffer: error: unable to connect to 192.168.137.117:8000
mbuffer: fatal: no output left - nothing to do
I can run this on the local ip 127.0.0.1, same error
Code:
mbuffer -V
mbuffer version R20240107
There is no firewall on this machine.
If I use netcat on the same ports, it works.
