Description:

PACKET SENDER




Packet Sender is an open source utility to allow sending and receiving
TCP, UDP, and SSL (encrypted TCP) packets. The mainline branch
officially supports Windows, Mac, and Desktop Linux (with Qt). Other
places may recompile and redistribute Packet Sender. Packet Sender is
free and licensed GPL v2 or later. It can be used for both commercial
and personal use.


Uses

- Controlling network-based devices in ways beyond their original apps
- Test automation (using its command line tool and/or hotkeys)
- Testing network APIs (using the built-in TCP, UDP, SSL clients)
- Malware analysis (using the built-in UDP, TCP, SSL servers)
- Troubleshooting secure connections (using SSL ).
- Testing network connectivity/firewalls (by having 2 Packet Senders
talk to each other)
- Tech support (by sending customers a portable Packet Sender with
pre-defined settings and packets)
- Sharing/Saving/Collaboration using the Packet Sender Cloud service.


Download

Official releases of Packet Sender can be downloaded at
PacketSender.com. Some places redistribute Packet Sender.




Packet Sender Mobile

The mobile apps are open source and available at :
https://github.com/dannagle/Packet_Sender_Mobile

Packet Sender Mobile binaries for iOS and Android may be purchased for a
small fee on the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store. Packet
Sender Mobile contains bare minimum permissions, no ads, no analytics,
no “Review me!” nags, no email list sign-ups, no notifications, and no
IAPs. It is absolutely nothing but the app. This is old-fashioned
software development that respects the user. Please show your support.


Packet Sender Cloud

Packets sets can be quickly saved/retrieved/shared using the free Packet
Sender Cloud service. The cloud may also be used to publicly display and
distribute your packets (via an URL) for collaboration, tutorials, end
users, etc. Packet Sender may import public packet sets with public URL.

There are various reasons to do this: * Keeping all your packets ready
so you can quickly retrieve them when installing a fresh Packet Sender *
Quickly swapping between packet sets when working on different projects.
* Sharing a login (it is allowed) for collaborative packet set
generation * Having a public page of your packet sets so others can
quickly find and import



If you are publishing a network API, maintaining a public cloud page is
significantly easier than painfully detailing (IP, port, type, etc) the
packets to your users. Plus, updating that page is easy.
