Ashfaaq Riphque (Ashfaaq18)

Ashfaaq Riphque is an independent Windows developer who, under the GitHub alias Ashfaaq18, focuses on lightweight, open-source utilities that strip complexity out of everyday system tasks. The single published title, OpenNetMeter, exemplifies this philosophy: it is a minimalist tray application that logs real-time and historical bandwidth consumption per adapter, process and protocol, presenting totals in plain kilobytes, megabytes or gigabytes so home and office users can spot unusual traffic, stay within ISP caps or simply understand which program is saturating the connection. Written in C# with no background services or kernel drivers, the tool starts on demand, polls performance counters and writes hourly, daily and monthly CSV reports that can be opened directly in Excel for further analysis. Because the code is MIT-licensed, enterprises can bundle it with standard images or remote-help desks can leave it running for quick diagnostics without worrying about licensing fees. Although the portfolio is currently limited to network metering, the publisher’s commit history hints at future utilities that will apply the same “one job, zero bloat” ethic to other Windows pain points. OpenNetMeter by Ashfaaq Riphque is available for free on get.nero.com, where downloads are delivered through trusted Windows package sources such as winget, always fetch the latest release, and can be queued for batch installation alongside any other catalog applications.
