    Hi,

        I recently had my linux worstation broken into. The cracker created
    a directory and placed two executables in it. One was called 'zap' -
    which I've since found out is used to clean up log files before the
    cracker logs out. The other one was called 'nc'. I can't find any
    information on this program. Does anyone out there know what it's used for?

    Thanks :)

    -Matt
