What do ncmac forwarded tips look like

1. Interpreting the question: identity and two plausible readings

The content supplied shows two distinct topical clusters: one about NCMAC as a music school in Sunnyvale that offers lessons and contact channels ^{[1] [2]}, and a larger cluster about netcat/ncat and how they implement port or TCP/UDP forwarding ^{[3] [4] [5]}; none of the sources explicitly discuss an item called a "forwarded tip," so the sensible journalistic reading is to treat the query as either (A) what does a tip or message forwarded to NCMAC look like in practice, or (B) what does output from ncat/netcat port‑forwarding look like — both answers must be qualified by the limits of the sources ^{[1] [3]}.

2. If the user means NCMAC (NorCal Music & Arts Center): practical clues and limits

NCMAC presents itself as a community music school offering in‑person and online lessons across instruments and age groups, with contact and scheduling handled through their site and phone number — details one would reasonably expect to appear on any incoming tip or message to them ^{[1] [2]}; the available reporting, however, contains no sample messages, tip‑forwarding workflow, or a described "tip" format sent to or forwarded by NCMAC, so it is not possible from these sources to show an actual forwarded tip or the metadata it would include ^{[1] [2]}.

3. If the user means ncat / netcat port‑forwarding “tips”: what forwarded connections look like

Technical sources show that ncat/netcat create simple bidirectional streams that connect a local listening port to a remote host: examples and guides demonstrate forwarding local port 8080 to a web server, using named pipes for two‑way links, or chaining ncat instances so inputs/outputs of processes are connected across hosts, meaning what is "forwarded" is raw TCP/UDP data streams rather than application‑level envelopes named “tips” ^{[4] [3] [6] [7]}. Practical how‑tos and man pages describe commands and behavior — that the forwarded entity is network traffic and that tools may display headers or raw payloads unless filtered — but they do not produce a human‑readable "tip" template, so any concrete example must be constructed from command output rather than documented as a standard format ^{[8] [4]}.

4. Common characteristics of forwarded netcat/ncat streams, per the reporting

When netcat or ncat forward a port they typically accept a connection on a local port and pipe bytes to a target host/port or spawn another ncat instance to bridge traffic; guides show sample commands and explain that forwarded data can include HTTP headers or encrypted IMAP traffic tunneled by ncat, and that behaviors differ for TCP vs UDP and for one‑shot vs persistent modes ^{[4] [3] [5]}. Several community Q&A threads and gists document limitations — for example, UDP forwarding with nc may stop after the first packet in some setups and named‑pipe solutions can be fragile — which means a "forwarded tip" in this technical sense may be truncated, raw, or one‑time unless additional handling is added ^{[9] [10]}.

5. What the sources do not permit asserting — and why that matters

Nowhere in the provided material is there a described format, header, or template called a "forwarded tip" associated with NCMAC (the music center) or with netcat/ncat; the reporting documents institutional contact info and operational examples for port forwarding but stops short of providing message samples or documented forensic artifacts labeled as forwarded tips, so any claim about exact fields, timestamps, or forwarding metadata would go beyond these sources ^{[1] [3] [4]}.
