PortKnock for Pc

1. You *must* have a port knock daemon running on your server for this application to be useful.

2. Port Knocking is a technique to secure services behind a firewall until a specific knock sequence is given.

3. Added password protection, knock validation, import/export hosts, auto app launcher, and knock progress screen.

4. This is also great to use with TouchTerm or any other ssh or telnet software for the iPhone.Just give it the hostname and a list of ports, and whether you want it to send TCP or UDP packets.

5. If you run a knock daemon on your server, this app then lets you send the special knock to it.

6. This application is a simple port knocker for the iPhone, generally useful only to network administrators.

7. This is not to be confused with port scanning (a network management tool for discovering open services on a system).

8. If you're in need of a knock server, I personally use Judd Vinet's knock daemon for linux.

9. But, when you or other family members come, you might want them to open the door for you.

10. This app is ideal if you're on a WiFi network but don't have a port knocker on the available computers.

11. So you teach them to listen for a certain rattat-tat-tat or special knock that only you and your family know.
