## Information

![Advanced PortChecker](https://i.imgur.com/vdt1sXZ.png)

For our first update of 2024 (late happy new year, by the way), we've remade Advanced PortChecker in Rust + JavaScript. We've completely revamped the user interface and made
it a lot easier to use and navigate.

The Rust rewrite allows us to now offer a Windows, Linux and macOS version of Advanced PortChecker AND improved scanning speeds. Whereas the old
version might have taken minutes to scan for open ports, the new version can do it in seconds!

If that's not enough, we've also made the binaries much smaller, less memory intensive and much more efficient, compared to the previous version, since you no longer need the .NET Framework
or the included libraries in order to run Advanced PortChecker.

For a full list of changes, please take a look at the change log below.

## Information

![Advanced PassGen](https://i.imgur.com/bVTaGO7.png)

Great news, we've just made Advanced PassGen 2.3.0 available for download! This release comes with a new feature: `The vault`, a safe and secure way to store and manage your passwords.
The password vault encrypts your data using AES-265 and stores a file locally that can be transferred to other devices. This allows you to easily manage your passwords on multiple devices and even on the web!

Do note that we do not store any of your data on our servers, so you can be sure that your data is safe and secure. We cannot recover your data if you lose your password, so make sure to remember it!
