While SocketLock tool driver installed, the systems privileged services will have unrestricted access to full raw sockets While SocketLock tool driver installed, the systems privileged background services will have unrestricted access to full raw sockets. But the programs executed by any users, regardless of their privilege, will be denied raw socket access.
SocketLock is not intended to be a solution to the problem of raw socket abuse under Windows XP because there is no way to get every Windows XP user to run the program. Instead, it demonstrates that, abuse-prone and dangerous raw sockets do NOT need to be exposed to the systems users.

Allows you to open active and passive socket connections 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.
System requirements:
- Java Runtime Environment 1.4 or higher
