totally agree.

i downloaded the source code of it some time back but my knowledge in networking protocols is very less. i am very ashamed for that even after so many days.

i guess i can try and make a tool similar (or a clone) because the SOCKET programming is very similar in win and linux AFAIK. i am just bit lazy and waiting for anyone else to make it before i do

your guessing is not wrong... you are right... because you can do Socket programming using JAVA...
Java is platform independent...

java.net.*; package contains all network Interfaces and Classes..

it also contains interfaces and classes for Socekts
Like-
Classes -
Socket
SocketImpl
ServerSocket
MulticastSocket
DatagramSocket
DatagramSocketImpl
DatagramPackage
etc... 27 classes are included

Interfaces-
SocketOptions
ServerSocketImplFactory
URLStreamHandlerFactory
ContentHandlerFactory
