Ansible role that installs Netcat on Linux.

## Features

- ✔️ Installing Netcat

- ✔️ You can choose which flavor to install:

  - [ncat](https://nmap.org/ncat/) - Ncat was written for the Nmap Project as a much-improved reimplementation of the venerable Netcat

  - [cryptcat](http://cryptcat.sourceforge.net/) - A lightweight version netcat extended with twofish encryption

  - ~~openbsd~~

  - ~~traditional~~

- ✔️ Creates (if missing) aliases to `nc` and `netcat`

- ✔️ Tested with Molecule Verify

Note: There are couple versions of "netcat". Ie. Debian provides `netcat-openbsd` or `netcat-traditional`, where those are not ported/compiled to CentOS. This is why I decided to give possibility to install only above two versions, are those two exists both for Debian and CentOS. So you will get the same experiance on all your machines.

## Supported Platforms

- ✔️ Ubuntu 18.04 (Bionic)

- ✔️ Ubuntu 20.04 (Focal)

- ✔️ CentOS 7

- ✔️ CentOS 8
