🔎 Solution​

This challenge introduces Netcat, a powerful command-line utility often referred to as the "Swiss army knife" of networking. It allows users to read and write data across network connections using TCP or UDP.
To connect to a remote service using Netcat, use the following syntax:

nc <address> <port>

Once connected successfully, the server will return the flag.
