Extension Details
Context-Aware Verdict
The extension has very limited adoption with only 163 users and a concerning low rating of 2.3, suggesting user dissatisfaction or potential issues. The lack of author information and developer details raises transparency concerns. Port knocking is a legitimate network security technique, but the minimal user base and poor rating indicate this particular implementation may be problematic.
Given the low user satisfaction and lack of developer transparency, consider avoiding this extension unless port knocking functionality is absolutely necessary. If you must use it, run it in a separate Chrome profile to isolate potential risks. Look for alternative port knocking tools from more established developers with better ratings and transparency. Monitor the extension's behavior closely and remove it immediately if you notice any suspicious network activity.
