How can I obtain /dev/tcp (and /dev/udp) onto debian? Bash seems

Could you elaborate? I think that you are confusing UNIX domain sockets
with network sockets.

He is probably talking about this feature of Bash from "man bash":
Bash handles several filenames specially when they are used in redirec-
tions, as described in the following table:
[...]
/dev/tcp/host/port
If host is a valid hostname or Internet address, and port
is an integer port number or service name, bash attempts
to open a TCP connection to the corresponding socket.
/dev/udp/host/port
If host is a valid hostname or Internet address, and port
is an integer port number or service name, bash attempts
to open a UDP connection to the corresponding socket.
