It's a nice tool and I'm going to use it in a class on firewalls I'll be
giving shortly.
I've been looking for a Windows tool like this a long time.

Might I suggest some areas for further development?

- recording ICMP packets
- ability to save the recorded packets into a log file
- ability influence the response the tool gives (ACK, RST, silence)

I'm thinking of a combination of functions that you find in:

- BackOfficerFriendly - http://www.nfr.com/resource/backOfficer.php
- PortPeeker - http://www.linklogger.com/portpeeker.htm

The nice thing with your approach is that you can open more than one port
(portpeeker only one) and that you can set any port (BOF has a fixed port
range).
