A Windows named pipe monitoring GUI. Requires administrator priviledges to run.

• Displays name and number of active/maximum connections, like pipelist.exe from SysInternals Suite does.
• Highlights newly created and removed pipes, like Process Explorer from SysInternals Suite does.
• Displays ACLs (for non-busy pipes).
• Gives hints about well-known pipe names.
• Pipe pinning, allowing to place all the pipes you're interested in together.
• Multilanguage support (English and Russian for now).

• The NPFS driver doesn't keep timestamps of pipe creation, so the creation timestamp is determined by the time the named pipe is first seen.
• The named pipes that get quickly created and deleted (or deleted and re-created) between scans won't be noticed about at all.
• The ACLs could not be extracted from pipes without a free server end. Also, for the same reason reading of ACLs may disrupt processes trying to connect to the same ACL.
  • This could work like a hint for "is there any free server pipe end?" question, though.

All of those could be fixed by installing a filesystem filter driver which will gather and export this information. Unfortunately, somebody needs to write such driver first.

• More/better hints (see the GetHintFor() function in Models/PipeModel.cs).
• Keep selected line in view when many named pipes gets created or deleted.
