In depth
A closer look at Direct Socket Control
The Direct Socket Control application was designed to be a simple tool that allow you to open active and passive socket connections (TCP and UDP) to other hosts and to send and receive data from them. Additional modules - e. g. a forwarder tool and a "programmable" bot make it even more useful. This program is actually a reimplementation of a rather old and buggy Visual Basic tool ("Winsock Tools") in Java.
