A desktop app for Windows that lists active network connections and helps you terminate the process behind a selected port after an explicit confirmation. Built with Rust and iced.
- Live connection table — protocol, local address, foreign address, state, PID,
and process name for every active connection (backed by
netstat/tasklist). - Port-first workflow — enter a local port directly, then jump back to recent ports without retyping them.
- Safe termination — row-level and visible-process kills open a confirmation
panel before Prockiller runs
taskkill /F. - Quick filters — narrow to listening, established, TCP, UDP, or local bindings before killing anything.
- Search — narrow the list by process, PID, address, protocol, or state as you type.
- Sortable, resizable columns — click a header to sort; drag the dividers to resize.
- Auto-refresh — the table updates every 5 seconds (toggleable).
- Update check — notifies you when a newer release is available.
Grab the latest prockiller-iced-vX.Y.Z-windows-x64.exe from the
Releases page. It's a single
executable — no install required.
Install Rust:
winget install Rustlang.RustupThen build:
cargo build --releaseOutput: target/release/prockiller-iced.exe
Or use the helper script, which builds and stages a versioned, checksummed
artifact in dist/ (mirrors the release pipeline):
.\build-release.ps1Releases are built by GitHub Actions (.github/workflows/release.yml).
To cut a release:
-
Bump
versioninCargo.toml. -
Commit, then tag and push:
git tag v1.0.6 git push origin v1.0.6
The workflow first verifies the pushed tag matches the version in Cargo.toml,
then builds the release binary on windows-latest, names it
prockiller-iced-v<version>-windows-x64.exe, generates a matching .sha256
checksum, and attaches both to a GitHub Release with auto-generated notes. You can
also trigger it manually from the Actions tab (build-only, no release published).
Every push to main and every pull request runs .github/workflows/ci.yml,
which checks formatting, runs Clippy, builds, and runs the test suite.
