Packets Beware

Imagine a terminal emulation program, like HyperTerminal or a telnet client.

Allow it to send and receive arbitrary binary data in HEX or TEXT form.

Pour in ultimate I/O flexibility, allowing it to work with any underlying transport, be it a serial port, TCP/UDP in client or server modes, named pipe or anything else.

Add the monitoring capabilities of a network sniffer or a serial monitor.

Now sprinkle a dash of style, and you've got an elegant and powerful tool for debugging almost any communication scenario you can throw at it. I/O Ninja.

	Create a TCP/UDP/PIPE connection using the Connection Socket plugin.		Listen to an incoming TCP/UDP/PIPE connection using the Listener Socket plugin.
	Monitor Ethernet traffic using the Network Sniffer plugin.		Send/receive UDP traffic and perform connectionless UDP operations using the UDP Socket plugin.
	Act as a proxy and monitor all traffic being passed, for scenarios where a network sniffer just won't cut it.		Create a serial connection using the Serial Connection plug-in.
	Inspect and analyze a program's debug trace, to track down the cause for software crashes.		Do it all using a streamlined, well thought-out interface.
