Taking the tcp stream (as hexdump) and trying to decrypt it, but it's really the twofish encryption of the msg, it seems like it has another layer of encryption.

Twofish encryption results in a nice string (similar to base 64..)

You'll have to have a look at the cryptcat source code (to be found on SourceForge) to see how they bolted on encryption to the netcat stream. If you want to do it the hard way you're looking at cryptanalysis, which is somewhat out of scope for this Q&A site.
