V1.2
Changed the fixed text boxes to lists to enable "unlimited" arguments.
Thinking about doing the same for different services configuration or different servers (might take a while... not a full timer)

+Why is port knocking (PN) useful?
+----------------------------
+firewalling is great... but it lacks some flexibility port knocking brings you easily.

-The wiki uses [Markdown](/p/knockit/wiki/markdown_syntax/) syntax.
+1. You might need to access your services from places you did not configure access for
+2. You might want to prevent brute players to try repeatedly your services ports again and again. With PN they're closed, except for you.
+
+What port knocking is not
+-------------------------
+
+It's not THE ultimate securing solution. It's just another layer preventing DIRECT access to specified port(s). After knocking you still might want to use good security practices to enable access to your services (i.e. disable root login w/ SSH, force certificate usage as much as possible, VPN your connections, etc.)

Welcome to the KnockIt! project.

There is no rocket science here. Only one window and three buttons : check if server:port is available, send the port knocking opening sequence to your server and send the port knocking closing sequence to your server.

No UDP or ICMP provided yet. Proxy settings to come soon.

Cheers
