Socket Workbench analyzes socket communications for the internet and inter-process communication. It's a comprehensive tool for analyzing these types of communications.
Socket Workbench is uniquely designed to offer the "Pass Through Mode," a feature that allows the interception of socket communications between a client and its server without packet sniffing. This feature is incredibly useful as it enables users to intercept and analyze socket communications with ease.
There are several other features that make Socket Workbench an incredible tool. The software allows the analysis of various socket based communication protocols, including E-mail, HTTP, Time Of Day, FTP, and many others. It can be configured to be a client or server, and any number of clients can connect while in server mode.
Additionally, the software includes a library of the well-known socket port numbers and servers, and users can author and send emails using the e-mail protocol template. Socket Workbench also contains a library of HTTP requests from popular web browsers and HTTP responses from web servers.
The tool is perfect 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, and data can be analyzed using a raw, binary, octal, decimal or hexadecimal format. Incoming and outgoing data can be logged with an optional time stamp, and the software contains 7 pre-defined configurations to get users started as soon as possible.
The software also includes several other features such as data filtering, scheduling data to be sent at regular intervals, data splitting into messages and fields, and the ability to stress test socket clients and servers. Moreover, data sent through the socket can be "linked" to a file, and when the contents of the file change, the data is automatically re-read and transmitted.
Overall, Socket Workbench is a versatile and comprehensive tool that allows the seamless analysis of socket communications across various protocols. If you're in the market for an advanced socket analysis tool, this is the one to consider.
