If that software is available to the public it would be a great service to name or link it if you can find out what it is.
It's not public because of licensing. But it's a simple reimplementation of https://www.wsusoffline.net.

Hahah, that's actually awesome. Of course someone out there put in the leg work to work around the licensing issue, and then shared it to the (minor?) masses.
