(A brute force attack is an automated process of trial and error used to guess authentication credentials, causing a server to acknowledge an imposter as a legitimate user.)

    The Connection Test PowerTool enables you to ping web sites without using the Ping protocol, which is blocked by many firewalls.

    The Encode/Decode PowerTool encodes and decodes strings you put into it, to and from the format of your choice.
