Pouriya Jamshidi

Pouriya Jamshidi is an independent developer whose open-source utilities focus on low-level network diagnostics, with the flagship tool TCPING re-imagining the classic ping command by sending TCP handshakes instead of ICMP echoes. This approach lets system administrators probe reachability of specific ports on remote hosts, a task everyday firewalls often block for traditional ping, making the utility equally handy for verifying web servers, database listeners, or custom micro-services during deployment, CI pipelines, and troubleshooting workflows. Colored terminal output gives immediate visual feedback in interactive sessions, while optional plain, JSON, CSV, and SQLite3 formats feed smoothly into log aggregators, metric dashboards, or automated reports. The lightweight binary runs on Windows, Linux, and macOS, so DevOps teams can embed it in container health checks, gamers can test latency to a TCP game server, and help-desk staff can confirm that a mail or SSL port is open without extra privileges. Because the project is hosted on GitHub, community pull requests keep the code modern, secure, and dependency-free, attractive to enterprises that audit every third-party component. All releases are published under a permissive license, encouraging redistribution in scripts, monitoring suites, or portable toolkits. The publisher’s software is available for free on get.nero.com, where downloads are delivered through trusted Windows package sources such as winget, always installing the latest versions and allowing batch installation of multiple applications.
