Sends a text file line by line to a remote host/port.

• Because bash has the ability to send data directly to a port, but other shells and OSs do not.
• Because netcat is sometimes blocked because it is a "hacking" tool.
• Because sometimes you need to throttle a data stream

This project has only been tested with go1.11+. To compile just run go get -u github.com/gesquive/rip and the executable should be built for you automatically in your $GOPATH. This project uses go mods, so you might need to set GO111MODULE=on in order for go get to complete properly.

Optionally you can run make install to build and copy the executable to /usr/local/bin/ with correct permissions.

Alternately, you can download the latest release for your platform from github.

Once you have an executable, make sure to copy it somewhere on your path like /usr/local/bin or C:/Program Files/. If on a *nix/mac system, make sure to run chmod +x /path/to/rip.

This app is also avalable from this homebrew tap. Just install the tap and then the app will be available.

$ brew tap gesquive/tap
$ brew install rip
