nc -n -X 5 -x 127.0.0.1:9050 <target_host> <target_port>

- From the nc man page on my system:
     -n      Do not do any DNS or service lookups on any specified
addresses, hostnames or ports.
     -X proxy_version
             Requests that nc should use the specified protocol when
talking to the proxy server.  Supported protocols are ``4'' (SOCKS v.4),
``5'' (SOCKS v.5) and ``connect'' (HTTPS proxy).  If the protocol is not
specified, SOCKS version 5 is used.

     -x proxy_address[:port]
             Requests that nc should connect to hostname using a proxy
at proxy_address and port.  If port is not specified, the well-known
port for the proxy protocol is used (1080 for SOCKS, 3128 for HTTPS).

> Neither the -X nor -x options exist in my version of nc.
Maybe your nc was compiled without proxy support? Where you got it from?
I have distant memories of me compile the gnu nc version once because I
had a weird implementation of netcat on my system.
