  • [Discussion] Send SMS (which is not 100% reliable) alternatives that don't require UI Interaction (which has it's own issues)?
    By googling around I found https://packetsender.com which is able to send-receive packets in various protocols - including UDP. It has desktop apps for Win, Mac and Linux (I used the Linux variant). In the desktop app, under the Tools menu, it has references to mobile apps for Android and iOS, but I had no luck locating them.

  • UART command processor, best approach?
    I've slowly transitioned most of my company's projects over to this method for in house testing/calibration and it's made a world of difference. There is something to be said about being able to open putty or Packet Sender and get intimidate feedback on what is happening without having to bust out the debugger. Source: over 2 years ago
  • DUO MFA Issues
    RADIUS uses UDP ports so you can't test it via telnet / test-netconnect (powershell), but there are 3rd party tools like Packet Sender: https://packetsender.com/. Source: over 2 years ago
  • UDP Simulator
    Network Fuzzing is used to send network packets to test network security. You could try one of those. Here's another utility you might want to try. Source: almost 3 years ago
