Free icmp software for linux

LANtern is a frame and packet analyzer for Linux. Its written in C (without pcap) and released under the MIT license.

LANtern currently supports ethernet frames, ARP, MPLS, RARP, IPv4 (AH, ESP, GRE, ICMP, IGMP, TCP, IPComp, UDP, UDP-Lite, and IP-in-IP encapsulation)

I hope to soon write/release a BSD version.

Feel free to make changes to fit your needs. This isnt released under the GPL so youre not "required" to submit modifications, but if you want to send me some enhancements or new features, please do.

NetMate comes from Network Measurement and Accounting System and is a flexible and extensible network measurement tool (meter).
It can be used for accounting, delay/loss measurement, packet capturing and much more. The main advantage over other existing tools is that it can be easily extended due to its modular (class-based) structure and dynamic loadable packet processing and information export modules.
A GUI for controlling multiple meters and displaying measurement results is currently under development.
NMRSH is the NetMate Remote Shell which allows to remote control NetMate meters.
Main features:
- Flexibility and Extensibility
- Runtime loadable metric and export modules
- Modular architecture (C++ classes)
- Extensible Ruleset Format (XML-based)
- Portable Implementation
- GNU autotools
- OS tested: Linux (SuSE, Debian, Redhat), FreeBSD, Solaris
- Open Source (GPL)
- Configurable Multithreading
- IPv4 and IPv6 Support
- Multiple Classification Algorithms
- Automatic flow generation based on arbitrary packet attribute combinations
- Packet Sampling Support
- Secure Control Interface
- SSL Encryption
- Host-based Authentication (DNS, IP address)
- User-based Authentication (HTTP)
- Packet capturing using libpcap
- Support simultaneous measurement on multiple interfaces
- Currently only Ethernet, IPv4/IPv6, ICMP, TCP, UDP, data layer support
- Extensible to everything libpcap can capture
- Metric Modules
- Counter, bandwidth, jitter, port usage, packet length, RTP packet loss, packet ID generation (crc32 and md5), capture (tcpdump file), RTT (ICMP echo), text output (similar to tcpdump output), DNS latency, HTTP performance, TCP connection setup latency
- Export Modules
- Text file, binary file, SQL (under development), IPFIX (under development)
- Remote Control via Shell Tool or Standard Web Browser
- Interactive or batch processing of meter commands
Enhancements:
- Minor changes and bugfixes were made.

ICMP-Chat is a simple console-based chat that uses ICMP packets for communication. All the data is encrypted with Rijndael-256 algorithm.
Installation:
Type: make && make install
For solaris type: make solaris && make install
Usage:
Usage: icmpchat [OPTIONS] < host > < nick >
< host > = Host to chat with
< nick > = Your nickname
OPTIONS:
-t < type > = specify icmp type (default ECHO_REPLY)
Example: icmpchat 192.168.1.2 foo
ICMP codes:
[0] Echo Reply
[5] Redirect
[8] Echo Request
[9] Router advertisement
[10] Router solicitation
[13] Timestamp request
[14] Timestamp reply
[15] Information request
[16] Information reply
[17] Adressmask request
[18] Adressmask reply
Enhancements:
- Rewrote from scratch
- Implemented optimized rijndael algorithm
- Implemented sha256 for password hashing
- Implemented ncurses frontend (again)
- Fixed getuid problem so that setting suid flag works now (thanks John)

The ICMP Hostname Tools for Linux include a responder daemon, a lookup tool, and a nameswitch module to handle ICMP host name functions.

The NSS module caches all requests (including failures) and honors the TTL value sent by the responding host. It uses a configuration file called /etc/nss-icmp.conf, which controls different aspects of its operation:

* timeout – Sets the timeout in milliseconds for ICMP host name queries, by passing the -t option to idnlookup.
* nocache – Disables the cache.
* ttlnotfound – Sets the TTL for not-found cache entries is seconds. The default is 5 minutes.

Both icmpdnd and idnlookup need to run as root, due to the fact that they use ICMP. Thus, idnlookup needs be installed SUID root.

pyMap consists in a port scanner written in Python.

pyMap is a port scanner capable of ICMP, SYN, and FIN scans. It has been found to work on Windows XP and numerous Linux distributions.
