Check Out the 3 New to MajorGeeks Atelier Web Software Offerings

Established back 1999, Atelier Web is a software development and consultancy firm offering products and custom solutions that can be found in well known companies, state departments and institutions, as well as in thousands of smaller ventures. We had previously only listed one app from them, but revisited the main site and found some nice products to share that include a firewall tester, password generator, and an IP geolocator.

Atelier Web Firewall Tester (AWFT)



Atelier Web Firewall Tester (AWFT) tests your personal firewall by using several different techniques in an attempt to punch through and gain access.

Many firewalls fail all tests in the default configuration. In the unlikely event your Personal Firewall passes all tests, please congratulate yourself.

Atelier Web Firewall Tester (AWFT) Tests:

Attempts to load a copy of the default browser and patch it in memory before it executes. Defeats the weakest PFs

Creates a thread on a loaded copy of the default browser. Old trick, but most firewalls still fail

Creates a thread on Windows Explorer. Another old trick, but almost every firewall still fail

Attempts to load a copy of the default browser from within Windows Explorer and patch it in memory before execution. Defeats PFs which require authorization for an application to load another one (succeeding on Technique 1) - Windows Explorer is normally authorized. This test usually succeeds, unless the default browser is blocked from accessing the internet

Performs an heuristic search for proxies and other running software authorized to access the Internet, loads a copy and patches it in memory before execution from within a thread on Windows Explorer - it's very difficult test for PFWs

Performs an heuristic search for proxies and other running software authorized to access the Internet, requests the user to select one of them, then creates a thread on the select process - this is another difficult nut to crack for PFWs!

Atelier Web Random Labs



Atelier Web Random Labs provides a quick and easy way to generate random password configurations using various character sets ranging from standard alpha-numeric to custom.

It can also help produce several different type lottery game numbers as a bonus, you can select from EuroMillions to Powerball - make selecting your potentially winning numbers easy.

Atelier Web Random Labs includes 2 of the most strong CSPRNG (cryptographically secure pseudo-random number generator):

CryptoMT was developed by Makoto Matsumoto and Takuji Nishimura, authors of the well known Mersenne Twister PRNG. CryptoMT is based on Mersenne Twister (MT), a PRNG with a period of 219937-1.

CryptoAPI is a Microsoft API (application programming interface) that provides cryptography related services, including the generation of cryptographic quality pseudo random numbers.

Atelier Web IP Locator (AWIPLOC)



Atelier Web IP Locator (AWIPLOC) will help you determine the geolocation of specific IP addresses.

It effortlessly allows you to resolve IPs to country, city, region and ISP by providing instant access to our 1400 MB online databases with more than 7.9 million IP ranges. You can request information about multiple IPs at the same time, and the response is quickly sent to you in a tightly compressed format via rates that can reach values well above 100 queries per second.

Atelier Web IP Locator (AWIPLOC) is free for occasional private use, no time deadlines and no functionality limitation, but instead you are only allowed 200 IP search credits to start - those credits are renewed periodically and should be sufficient for casual private use.
