Use netcat to check udp port status

Damn you, Windows.  You’ve conditioned me to use telnet for network connectivity checks instead of superior tools like netcat (which supports UDP ports). 

I nearly forgot this one so I thought I’d write it down:

nc -vzu <ip address> <udp port or port range>

  • -v enables verbose mode for easier feedback.
  • -z scans for listening daemons without sending any data to them.
  • -u uses UDP instead of TCP.

‘Nuff said.
