hi, I downloaded for cryptcat-nt-1.2.1 (from here
http://sourceforge.net/projects/cryptcat/\) but not sure how
to compile it. I
tried:

1. To compile with Visual Studio.NET

I have Visual Studio.NET installed on this machine. I simply
openned
"cryptcat.dsp" then "Build". Ended up getting a whole bunch
of errors:

2. nmake

Here's the error message I got:

I noticed that it complained about not being able to locate
"stdio.h". To
resolve this problem, I copied "stdio.h" from "C:\Program
Files\Microsoft
Visual Studio .NET 2003\Vc7\include" to cryptcat's directory
and recompile
again. I ran into the same error - "Cannot open include file
stdio.h":

I am not sure as I did not look at the code for very long,
but it seems as if the cryptcat code does not use RecvBuffer
as the original netcat code does, but instead uses Buffer,
so I changed the RecvBuffer to Buffer, and it compiled
correctly. It seems as if it works too, hope that helps
