The SHD-TCP-Tools software comprises proxy tools, load balancing, rate control and TCP port forwarding functionalities.
Among the tools included in shd-tcp-tools are tcp-pf, listentwo, connecttwo, and tcppipe. The port forwarding tools - tcp-pf, listentwo, and connecttwo - allow users to forward ports from one host to another with the added support of load balancing and rate control.
tcppipe is designed as a one-directional TCP pipe that can be substituted for one-directional netcat transfers providing load balancing and rate control capabilities. Moreover, the network load balancing scheme featured in shd-tcp-tools allows users to select an interface or destination host based on past transfer history.
The listentwo and connecttwo tools are perfect for running servers behind a firewall using third-party TCP proxies.
The latest release of shd-tcp-tools introduces some new features and improvements, including an option to delay incoming connections (-w) that can be used to thwart port scanners. The code is cleaner, and the documentation is more comprehensive than before.
Overall, shd-tcp-tools is a fantastic resource for anyone looking to optimize their TCP network and protect their servers from unwanted intrusions.
