Kudos for scripting a great hack in BASH.

Since the title reads "pure bash" however I was expecting to see an implementation using builtin bash features such as /dev/tcp.

Have you considered solving this problem using BASH builtin support for TCP?

I recall that bash can't create a server socket, because bash doesn't bind().
