packetThrower

packetThrower is an independent software publisher whose catalog is available through GitHub and currently consists of three packages spanning network operations tooling and personal knowledge management. The publisher's network-oriented products target professionals who administer and troubleshoot switched infrastructure. Baudrun is a serial terminal application designed for network engineers, covering the common use case of console access to routers, switches, firewalls, and other devices during initial provisioning, out-of-band recovery, firmware recovery, or field diagnostics where network-based management is unavailable. PortFinder addresses a complementary discovery task: it is a network switch port discovery tool that uses the CDP, LLDP, and MNDP protocols to identify which physical switch port a device is connected to. This is useful when tracing cables, documenting port mappings, onboarding equipment, or locating hosts in environments with mixed vendor hardware, since the supported protocols cover Cisco, standards-based, and MikroTik equipment respectively. Rounding out the catalog, Zorite is a local-first outliner and daily-journal note application in the style of Logseq. It serves users who want to capture bullet-structured notes, maintain a chronological daily journal, and build linked personal knowledge bases while keeping their data stored locally rather than in a vendor's cloud. Taken together, the product range reflects a focus on practical, single-purpose utilities: terminal emulation and physical-layer discovery for network operations work, plus structured note-taking for individual productivity. The open distribution model via GitHub makes the packages accessible for inspection, contribution, and self-hosted deployment, suiting both enterprise network teams and technically inclined individual users who prefer transparent, locally controlled software.
