    Cross-platform TCP port testing, emulating the functionality of ping (port ping)

  • paping is a cross-platform tool for TCP port testing that emulates the function of ping for cases when ICMP has been blocked. Allows you to repeatedly scan the same ports to determine if a service is responding. metalnuke calls it an "invaluable TCP port ping tool for Windows platforms."

  • Tmuxinator

    Manage complex tmux sessions easily

  • Tmuxinator allows you to more-easily manage your tmux sessions using a single command. munsking explains, "without it, tmux is pretty much the same as screen for me… pseudo example: 'tmuxinator clients' would open a tiled window with 16 windows with ssh to 16 clients and sync input after login."

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
