What is Socket Sifter - Socket Sifter is a program that simply communicates through TCP on any port. SocketSifter can listen or connect on any available port that you specify.

What can it be used for - Socket Sifter can be used by developers who want to test their applications and have complete control of data flow through sockets. This can be helpful in finding bugs in the protocol or testing different protocol features. Socket Sifter can also act as a handy telnet application. With the knowledge of the correct protocol you can do almost anything with Socket Sifter such as reading your email or retrieving web pages.

What is different in Socket Sifter Pro? - Socket Sifter Pro is scriptable. This means that you can use AppleScript to control connections and the flow of data coming in and out of Socket Sifter. At the current time Socket Sifter Pro supports one scripted connection, but we soon plan to add multiple script connections. Also planned to be added to the pro version will be UDP support.

Does it cost anything - Socket Sifter Lite is free and has all the features that the Pro version does except for scriptability. The Pro version only costs $10 USD. See above for the advantages of the Pro version over the Lite.
