What is IO Ninja?

IO Ninja

IO Ninja is a super handy tool for anyone working in system administration or network security. This terminal application is user-friendly and really reliable when you need to keep an eye on changes in your network.

Features of IO Ninja

This software can do a lot! It acts as a sniffer, serial terminal, TCP, UDP, or SSH terminal. That means you can use it with different tools and protocols to get your job done.

Multiple Connections Made Easy

With IO Ninja, you can open several connections at once using one of the supported protocols like TCP socket, SSH channel, serial, file stream, pipe listening system, or even network monitors. It’s perfect for multitasking!

User-Friendly Message Console

The program features a message console where you can write in plain text, send binary data packets, or import files easily. Plus, it supports Unicode encoding!

Your Activity Dashboard

The top part of the interface shows the message dashboard that displays your activity log along with binary data packets and helpful text messages. If you prefer something more technical, you can switch to the terminal console which supports ANSI and XTerm emulation.

Session Linking Functionality

The Session Linking function is pretty neat! It lets you redirect incoming or outgoing messages between connections—even if they’re using different protocols. You just set up your sessions and create a sync between them!

Customize with Jancy IDE

IO Ninja is built using a programming language called Jancy. It comes with an IDE that makes it easy to customize everything to fit your needs. You can use it as an IO debugger or a TCP listener among other things.

Create Your Own Protocols

You also have the freedom to change existing session providers or even create new protocol analyzers—whether it's transport-level or application-level ones.

Connect and Analyze Messages

This software can be used as a serial terminal or TCP terminal too! It helps you connect to network nodes, send packets out, and analyze incoming messages effortlessly.

Server-Side Functions & UDP Support

You’ll appreciate its server-side TCP listening abilities as well as its capability to work as a UDP terminal that supports UDP broadcasts. Starting SSH sessions and sending user-defined frames through the network sniffer tools are also possible!
