IPLookup Is Now PortFind

December 21st, 2009

Decided to rename IPLookup to PortFind. Think the name is a bit more descriptive as I was never really happy with IPLookup. Of course the name change has reset the Apple approval process, so it will probably be next year before it is released.

IP Lookup 1.0

December 10th, 2009

I’ve submitted a tool called IP Lookup to the app store for initial release. I honestly feel this is the most complete TCP and UDP port reference tool available anywhere. It currently has over 12,000 entries, and the list is still growing.

As you can see it includes a search function. Not only can you search on port numbers, but portions of the description as well. For example searching on the keyword “malware” produces a list of ports used by worms, backdoors, etc.

One of the key features of the tool is that the list is live sorted while you type. So as you start typing in your search criteria you’ll immediately see the results in the list.

Hope you enjoy the tool!

Packet Decode 1.2 released

December 10th, 2009

Packet Decode version 1.2 has officially cleared the app store. If you have any questions or problems, please free free to post in the comments section of the FAQ link at the top of the page.

Packet Decode 1.2 Complete

December 1st, 2009

I just submitted version 1.2 of Packet Decode to Apple.This version adds in the IPv6 and ICMPv6 headers. I also made the version backwards compatible so folks who have not updated to 3.1.2 will be able to use it as well.

This version took a bit longer than expected to finish, as Pcap’s icmp6 protocol is pretty much broken. Took a while to develop the workarounds. In any event, I would expect it to hit the store front over the next week or two.
