When #PortKnocking was first introduced, somebody made a fork of #PuTTY which had it built in. We didn't take the patch upstream, because it seemed so likely that port knocks would keep evolving and we'd have to run to keep up; we thought a better design would be to delegate to a "make my connection, with any necessary knocks" sub-tool.
But the best thing about this fork was its name. The author called it PoTTY. And it came with a full suite of supporting tools with names like Pogeant and Plonk. Top marks!
