TIL: #bash provides pseudo devices for TCP and UDP connections:
echo "hello" > /dev/udp/127.0.0.1/1337
or
exec 5<>/dev/tcp/www.google.com/80
echo -e "GET / HTTP/1.0\n" >&5
cat <&5
I'm baffled how I've never discovered that until today.

I've known about it, but it's like knowing what's in the Necronomicon, it's powerful, but nothing good will come from it.
