You’ve gained root access to a server. To ensure you maintain access, the first thing you should do is make sure that if discovered, you have another way in.

Note that the point is to establish the Se7en steps of a successful attack;
1. Recon (Case the joint.)
2. Scanning (How do we do this?)
3. Access (Get Innit), maintaining access (We’re Innit, mate!) and take it up a notch (Big up!)
4. Exfil (Get the loot/gear!)
5. Sustain (We’re in, chill, bruv!)
6. Assault (Let’s do this!)
7. Obfuscation (Hide tracks)

NetCat, however, is designed to be a reliable back-end tool to instantly provide network connectivity to other applications and users.
