Socket Workbench 3.1 - Tools for analysing socket communications

Socket Workbench

Socket Workbench: Socket Workbench is the definitive tool for analysing socket communications that underlie the Internet and several types of inter-process communication. Configure Socket Workbench to be a socket client (like a web browser or e-mail client) or a socket server with ease. You can send data through a socket and analyse that data that has been received. Also, Socket Workbench has the unique "Pass Through Mode" which allows the interception of socket communications between a client and its server without packet sniffing. Features include: - Allows the analysis of the E-mail, HTTP, Time Of Day, FTP and any other socket based communication protocol including real-time and client-server applications. - Configure Socket Workbench to be a socket client or a socket server. - Allows any number of clients to connect while in Server mode. - Intercept and analyse socket communications using the Pass-Through mode. - Includes a library of the well-known socket port numbers and servers. - Author and send e-mails using the e-mail protocol template. - Contains a library of HTTP requests from the popular Web Browsers and the HTTP Responses from Web Servers. - Ideal for testing and monitoring real-time applications or two/three/n-tier client-server applications. - All socket state transitions and Socket Workbench events can be logged. - Data can be analysed using a raw, binary, octal, decimal or hexadecimal format. - Incoming and outgoing data can be logged with an optional time stamp. - Contains 7 pre-defined configurations to get under way as soon as possible. - Incoming data can be filtered. - Schedule data to be sent at regular intervals. - Data can be split in to messages and messages can be split into fields. - Allows the stress testing of socket client and servers. - Data sent through the socket can be "linked" to a file. When the contents of the file changes, the data is automatically re-read and transmitted.
