- Protocol chaining. Build a single test chain where output of one step feeds the next across up to 13 protocols.
- Scripting. JavaScript and Groovy editors let you add loops, custom logic and assertions to probes.
- MITM proxy & service virtualization. Mock, rewrite or intercept traffic locally without a cloud.
- Test suites & CI integration. Group chains with setup/teardown, get JUnit reports and raw byte evidence for CI pipelines.
- Fuzzing & raw-TCP/UDP probes. Generate malformed packets, wordlist iterators and freestyle probes for security testing.
- Agent access over MCP. Allow coding agents to author, run and read back tests securely using stored credentials.
