Hey everyone, So, like a lot of you, I spend my days jumping between PuTTY, a subnet calculator, Nmap, a separate notes app, and a dozen other little utilities just to get my work done. It got pretty frustrating. I decided to do something about it and started building Ducky, a free, open-source “all-in-one” tool for Windows that puts everything in one place. It started as a personal project to scratch an itch, but it’s gotten to a point where I think it might actually be useful to others.
Right now, it has:
- A tabbed serial terminal (so you can connect to multiple routers/switches)
- Network scanner/topology mapper (still basic, but it finds devices)
- Subnet calculator
- Ping, Traceroute, and a Port Scanner
- A few basic security tools (CVE lookup, password strength checker, hash tool)
- A dockable notepad for scribbling down configs.
My real question for all of you pros and hobbyists is: If you could have any feature in a tool like this, what would it be? What’s that one thing you always find yourself wishing your terminal could do? Or a check you constantly have to run from a separate script? I’m looking for ideas to make this actually useful for the community. No idea is too big or too small. I’d love to hear what you think. Thanks for taking a look!
