ICMP Knock Server
Free and open source CLI based tool to listen for ICMP packets more>> Free and open source CLI based tool to listen for ICMP packets
ICMP Knock Server is a free tool that uses a concept similar to port knocking, which basically involves waiting for a range of packets that match given criteria before executing some action (typically exposing a port, e.g. for SSH connections, that is kept closed or blocked otherwise).
But instead of listening for TCP or UDP packets to arrive on specific ports in a specific order, it accepts ICMP echo requests and checks if their payload lengths and order of arrival match the given pattern.
The advantage is that this approach works with the standard PING tool. Programs with custom code or (although common) networking tools like netcat plus the ability to execute them are not required.

- Python

ScreenSend 1.0b6

ScreenSend 1.0b6 is a very flexible and effective screen shot utility.
But its even more than that: Its a screen shot utility that allows you to select any portion of the screen and automatically upload your screen shot to a web server via FTP. Don't have your own FTP enabled server? That's fine, just choose "Default" when setting up your FTP settings and it will upload to the screen send website, free of charge and without a single ad.
Unlike many other similar products ScreenSend is free. Just plain free. There are no ads, banners, or watermarks put on your images. You can even set it up to upload to your own server, cutting your dependence completely.
ScreenSend also uses Growl, an inovative technology that allows ScreenSend to display small, unobtrusive messages such as "Upload Complete!" or "An error occured!" This isn't required, ScreenSend will work fine without it, but Growl makes it a lot nicer. (Growl needs to be installed separately to use Growl features.)
- Mac OS X 10.3.9 or later. (An up-to-date installation of Growl is recommended, but not required.)
