Security Tools (Ping, Traceroute, Whois, Port Testing)

[Punkster812]

This is a 1.0 release and is looking for people to try it out. The application allows for pinging a host, trace the path to a host, do Whois lookups on domain names, and even test ports. You can download it from http://www.securenetworksystems.com/SecurityTools/ and can get a demo license from http://www.securenetworksystems.com/SecurityTools/demo.aspx that will give you a week of testing the software. The image below shows a trace that is mapped out.

We are releasing this for testing before it goes up for sell, so any productive feedback is appreciated. Please note that full installation size is around 45MB (due to a database size), so it is a good idea to verify you have enough space on your phone/device or install to a storage card.

* Works with Windows Mobile PPC devices with Compact Framework 2.0 or later
* Ping, Trace, WHOIS and Port Scan
* View your trace on a map and follow it hop by hop
* Test port ranges or try a single port and send clear text commands to the port
* Save your results and load them back in at any time
* Utilize any network connection (3G, CDMA, 802.11, ActiveSync, etc.),


System Requirements:

* Pocket PC with Windows Mobile 5.x, 6.x Pro or later
* Compact Framework 2.0 or later
* Network/Internet Connection
* It is recommended that you have an unlimited data plan through your phone provider
* ~45MB of storage space for all features, more space is needed for map data and map data is downloaded on need basis

Latest Release (9/15/2009)
Enhanced: Finger control for the map (larger zoom buttons).

Fixed: Scaling issues for VGA/WVGA (large screens) in the port testing section and in the setup wizard.

Fixed: An error in setup wizard if Device is selected for tile cache location.

Fixed: If a service returned special characters (such as SSH) in port testing during a single port test, the entire message would not be displayed. The message is now shown without the characters that can’t be displayed.

I just added some additional picture so you can see some of the other cool functions of the application. The only thing that isn't shown here is the WHOIS lookup. Hope everyone is enjoying the free trial.

Nice tool to do simple troubleshooting while on the road.

The Whois gives a lot of garbage. It should search for the exact match. If people want more sites that aren't exact matches, wildcards should be used. Instead, a Whois for google.com gives no relevant data, and you have to do another search to get the info. The search gives things like google.com.zzzzz.download.movie.online.zml2.com, as well as addresses to porn sites.
