Kevin Lange 634c7d3e97 Set alarm for extended options. Instead of clearing the alarm, set it to two seconds; Previously, this could, potentially, not finish at all on some telnet clients, which is definitely bad. This is a reasonable workaround.		2013-03-07 19:43:48 -08:00

README.md

Nyancat CLI

Nyancat rendered in your terminal.

Distributions

Nyancat is available in the following distributions:

Setup

First build the C application:

make && cd src

You can run the C application standalone.

./nyancat

To use the telnet server, you need to add a configuration that runs:

nyancat -t

We recommend openbsd-inetd, but xinetd will work as well, and you should be able to use any other compatible inetd flavor.

Distribution Specific Information

Debian/Ubuntu

Debian and Ubuntu provide the nyancat binary through the nyancat package. A nyancat-server package is provided to automatically setup and enable a nyancat telnet server upon installation. I am not the maintainer of these packages; please direct any questions or bugs to the relevant distribution's bug tracking system.
