Socket Software

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.

Networks and the Internet are becoming not only a nice thing to have but are now a necessity and your application need to be able to communicate over them. SSL Socket Wizard allows you to easily communicate to a remote server using the TCP protocol and also adds the ability to use Secure Socket Layer protection to the channel. You can communicate using SSL or normal clear-text.

WordZ toolbar provides instant, 1-click access to Dictionary and Thesaurus definitions and spell checking from a toolbar on your web browser. WordZ is free software that contains no adware or spyware and is published by Socket Software. It can be used and distributed as you see fit.

TCP Spy captures and displays all socket calls that an application makes and the data that is sent and received on the application's sockets. TCP Spy will work with any type of application. TCP Spy can be used by a developer to debug socket communication problems with an application or by anyone who is curious about what socket calls an application is making, including what it is communicating with and the data it is passing.

POP3/APOP3 spam filtering utility,mail checker, daytime and finger client with socket 4/4A/5 proxy support with or without authentication. Complete log file will be generated, doesn't require installation and will never add new registry key entries to Windows database.

Serial Port Redirector is used to connect a serial application to a remote TCP socket. This allows you to utilize modern hardware COM servers without changing your software or exchange data between a TCP/IP application and an old-fashioned program that can only connect to a serial port. This is done by creating virtual COM ports. Virtual COM ports accept connections from serial applications and redirect the data to a specified IP address/port.

Chilkat SSL is a free COM component that makes it extremely easy to communicate securely over a TCP socket using either the SSLv3 or TLSv1 protocols. This component is designed to be used by C++ applications, and cannot be used from Visual Basic or ASP.

Open source (free) PHP platform developed by Saltanera to ease application development. It has windowed GUI framework and web application framework. Other classes: distributed computing, database, networking (socket, HTTP, e-mail, SMS), XML, collection, I/O, compression, and PHP encoder (byte compiler). One of its interesting frameworks is gambArt which let developers use PHP to develop windowed GUI applications that run without internet browser.

ActiveX control for secure private networking with 128-bit AES encryption and on-the-fly compression. Implements a flexible message-oriented protocol on top of a single TCP connection. Information is exchanged through typed data packets identified by a command code. Utilizes an elegant event-driven paradigm for easy integration into Windows applications. Can be used both on client and server side, with centralized management of all connections.
