`nc -z` 有什么用？

Question

在一个练习的解决方案中，我发现了这一点：

nc -z [serverip] [port]

它有什么作用？

在nc手册页上我发现

-z 零 I/O 模式 [用于扫描]

不是很解释......在网上搜索我找到了Netcat Cheat Sheet，上面写着：

-z：零 I/O 模式（不发送任何数据，只发出一个没有负载的数据包）

那么，为什么我要发送一个没有任何内容的数据包？这就像一个ping？

将-z选项视为“立即关闭连接”会更有用。我的版本nc有这个关于端口扫描的说法：

端口扫描

 It may be useful to know which ports are open and running services on a target machine.  The -z flag can
 be used to tell nc to report open ports, rather than initiate a connection. Usually it's useful to turn on
 verbose output to stderr by use this option in conjunction with -v option.

 For example:

       $ nc -zv host.example.com 20-30
       Connection to host.example.com 22 port [tcp/ssh] succeeded!
       Connection to host.example.com 25 port [tcp/smtp] succeeded!

 The port range was specified to limit the search to ports 20 - 30, and is scanned by increasing order (un?
 less the -r flag is set).

 You can also specify a list of ports to scan, for example:

       $ nc -zv host.example.com http 20 22-23
       nc: connect to host.example.com 80 (tcp) failed: Connection refused
       nc: connect to host.example.com 20 (tcp) failed: Connection refused
       Connection to host.example.com port [tcp/ssh] succeeded!
       nc: connect to host.example.com 23 (tcp) failed: Connection refused

 The ports are scanned by the order you given (unless the -r flag is set).

 Alternatively, it might be useful to know which server software is running, and which versions.  This in?
 formation is often contained within the greeting banners.  In order to retrieve these, it is necessary to
 first make a connection, and then break the connection when the banner has been retrieved.  This can be
 accomplished by specifying a small timeout with the -w flag, or perhaps by issuing a "QUIT" command to the
 server:

       $ echo "QUIT" | nc host.example.com 20-30
       SSH-1.99-OpenSSH_3.6.1p2
       Protocol mismatch.
       220 host.example.com IMS SMTP Receiver Version 0.84 Ready

您可以使用tcpdump查看nc发送和不发送的内容-z。

没有-z：

carbon# nc -v localhost 25
Connection to localhost 25 port [tcp/smtp] succeeded!
220 carbon.home ESMTP Postfix (Ubuntu)

tcpdump -i lo port 25：

与-z：

carbon# nc -zv localhost 25
Connection to localhost 25 port [tcp/smtp] succeeded!

tcp转储：

您可以看到服务器仍然发送了问候语 ( 220 carbon.home ESMTP Postfix (Ubuntu)) 但nc没有打印它（并且可能没有阅读它）。
