Heirophant is a new network utility built for Mac OS X and being coded by DCHKG (active member of the Ugm Programming Team).
It's composed of four useful modules that can be run simultaneously: scan, telnet, ping, flood.
• scan : this is a basic port scanner (ok its GUI is obviously inspired by Team 2600's PortMaster X). It's may be one of the fastest ever built for Mac OS X (I think about PortMaster X again). However, that's right nmap is really better… You can open up to 500 simultaneous connections to scan you target. But you may have to perform some attempts to get the optimal maximum number of connections since too many connections can kill your connection. I think the choice of 50 simultaneous connections is quite good.
• telnet : this lets you communicate with a server. You type the command in the « Input » field, send it pressing Return and then the server's answer appears in the biggest field at the top. Please note I included an intelligent system that memorize the addresses you enter and then attempts to guess the targeted address when you begin to write one.
• ping : this sends packets to a remote computer, waits for its response and then gives you the delay.
• flood : this opens as many connections as the number of ports you have entered to send data to vulnerable ports. That kind of attack attempts to crash the remote computer. This will have no effect on non vulnerable ports (because data will not be received).
• proxy : here you can enter a proxy/sock server address usable in telnet module.
What's New:
Flood module improved, proxy module added, some bugs fixed.
