Handy networking tool for the Mac

network utility

Are you curious about your Mac's current network connection or want to test if a remote server is still active? Is your connection to a server slow and want to learn more about the detours your data packets take on the way to their destination? Or are you on a hotel's Wi-Fi network and want to address poor network speed with solid data? We regularly use this handy little tool.

Of course, you can use Terminal for this and type commands like ping or traceroute. But there is a more Mac-like way: Meet Neo Network Utility. This tool offers a full suite of network tools for retrieving information about your network adapter and diagnosing common network problems. Netstat, Ping, Lookup, Traceroute, Whois, Finger, Port Scan and Network Speed, they are all present in a neat and uncluttered user interface.

Why saving passwords in your browser is not a good idea
The blog post below was created in response to a question during our engineering meeting. Every two weeks, we get together with all of our technical staff to discuss the latest developments in technology or with clients. Good client questions also arise during these meetings, such as this one. Time to do some research. Thank you, Wiebe! You've probably experienced this: you log in to a website, and your browser asks if it should remember your password. Convenient, fast, and you don't have to remember anything. However, there's a risk involved. In practice, we see that many security incidents start with something small. Like saving passwords…
