The package name is not `Netcat`, its `netcat`.

In the first example, you should make it -z rather than z. Thanks

You can pair netcat with tcpdump to stream a packet capture to another host. This is useful for capturing in real time traffic on busybox or other small Linux distributions. I have had luck using tcpdump for android on busybox running a security camera.
