About PanelDaemon

PanelDaemon is a free web based Microsoft Windows Service Applications manager. PanelDaemon is written in ASP.NET and C#. It is designed to run under IIS. It can be used in conjunction with FireDaemon Pro. It is released under the terms of the GPL. If you don't want to deploy IIS, you might want to take a look at FireDaemon Fusion. The video below from Hak5 provides a good overview of PanelDaemon functionality.
