Free ping software for linux

mass.pl is the implementation of a relatively simple idea. Instead of interactively doing some task on one machine, then duplicating the effort on N other machines, write a shell script, then scp it to N machines and execute it as root.

Example

(sic@foo)($:~/mass)- ./mass.pl --name solaris --script pushsomething --su --sshpass
sudo password:
ssh password:

trying to run pushsomething on 1 machines

jNetTool is a Swiss-knife for networks. It includes whois and nslookup queries, ping and traceroute, an IP address calculator, and a visual network planing-tool.
Features:
Whois:
With jNetTool-whois you find out who owns a domain or IP-address. Please enter a domain without "www" - for example "ventruba.com".
DNS-Lookup:
With jNetTool-ns-lookup you find out the nameserver for a domain, or which is the ip for a domain (A-record) or which mailserver is responsible (MX-record).
Ping:
A jNetTool-ping is "knocking at the door" of a computer. You will see if a computer is answering and how long will a package take.
Traceroute:
Which way will a package take from you computer to the target and how long will it take itemized for each station - jNetTool-traceroute will tell you.
Portscan:
jNetTool-portscan: Which service offers the computer? Please take care with this, some owner would misinterpret this as an attack! Use ownly if allowed from the owner!
IP-Calculator:
This nice tool shows you the networkclass of an IP-address, or you can calculate subnets, how many hosts are in a subnet, and so on....
Network planning:
The jnetool-networkplaningtool is not for real business, for the moment.
Enhancements:
- change bug, when change language to the selected language
- change bug, show description for ip in net-calc
- change reading of whois.conf now works with launch4j
- add support for .exe (launch4j) for better starting under Windows (but still needs JRE!)
Enhancements:
- change code of panels more modular/more objectorientation
- add drop-down field + history for IP/Domainname
- add mnemonics
- add Tooltips
- add Show message if field domainname is empty on "GO"
- add linkover for ping and traceroute
- change view of traceroute is now simple from system-traceroute
- add Header for each Output-Panel
- change bug on pressing cancel (switch_buttons was called twice)
- change status window with cancel button and progress bar
- change ip-input as dropdown-field with history
- add input-field for dig-server
- add save for all panels except calc

The Perl script testmail checks e-mail available at the POP3 server (including SSL), filters it according to the defined rules, and depending on the selected method gets the messages to the local mailbox and/or removes it from the server.
Testmail uses Perl Mail-POP3Client, Net-Ping, and Socket modules and helps you escape from spam.
Enhancements:
- This release allows the user to use SSL and a specifically selected port (for example, for a Gmail mailbox).
- Testmail now uses Mail-POP3Client module instead of the libnet module.
- Configuration files were changed to add PORT, USESSL, AUTH_MODE, and DEBUG options.
- Some rejecting rules were improved.

Web Ping is a program for testing your internet connection.

Web Ping is a simple application to test an internet connection to a perticular site. I created this application after my work moved locations and half our network stayed in the old building and the other half moved with us to the new location.

A flaky (significant point) VPN was set up to keep the two connected. Since a couple of the unmoved servers were of interest to me, I keeped checking to see if they were still accessable with the ping command before doing any serious work with them.

A quick and pathetic Google resulted in no other program that meet my needes, so I wrote one.

Insted of doing an actual network ping, Web Ping tests a connection by downloading a web page on a given server. The size of the page and time are stored in memory and the times are graphed. In this way, sites that block network a ping can still be tracked.

Web Ping also keeps track of the largest and smallest download times per session and also tracks the max and min values currently on the graph. Times of interest are graphed in a color which represents if it is a max or a min. (see figure one). The history tab also lists all the max values as they have been recevied.

A running average is also calculated with each download. The files downloaded are not processed or stored in any way. This prevents any security problems that can normaly happen in a web browser enviroment. The only two pecies of information retained about a downloaded file is the size and time.

Usage:

There are two ways to use Web Ping, GUI or CLI mode. The simplest of the two modes is CLI. Web Ping can be started in CLI mode by passing a url to the jar file in a command line interface like this: "java -jar WebPing.jar http://localhost". Web Ping will automaticly start getting statistics on the requested url, printing results to the screnn.

To quite, press q and then then ENTER key. CLI allows the user to Most people will probably want to use the GUI mode which has a history graph and allows the user to start and stop the session.

The best way to run Web Ping is in GUI mode. GUI mode allows the user start and stop the ping process at will and to change the site that is pinged. Users can also see more information about about the history of the pings and view max values and min values easily. There are three tabs on the top of the page, the first is the application, second is the history list, and the last give information about the application.

KDE Ping is a network/IP ping utility for KDE.

mtr combines the functionality of the ping and traceroute programs in a single network diagnostic tool.
As mtr starts, it investigates the network connection between the host mtr runs on and a user-specified destination host.
After it determines the address of each network hop between the machines, it sends a sequence ICMP ECHO requests to each one to determine the quality of the link to each machine. As it does this, it prints running statistics about each machine.
Compatibility
Mtr uses autoconf. This should allow compatibility with a large range of operating systems. Feel free to report problems. We can then try to iron them out.
I dont have much experience in using autoconf. Therefore Im eager to learn more about it, as it seems a very useful tool. Ive been editing small sections of the autoconf files, but I welcome suggestions on how to do things better. There usually IS a way to do it better....
Compiling MTR
Compiling mtr should be as easy as "make". If it is harder for you, your computer is misconfigured, or there is a problem with mtr that we should take care of. Please report this kind of problems.
Enhancements:
- The build-time check for the resolver library was improved.
- Binding to a specific interface was fixed.
- Incorrect display of multiple routes was fixed.
- Several minor bugs were fixed.

Net::Telnet::Netscreen is a Perl module that interacts with a Netscreen firewall.

Net::Telnet::Netscreen is mostly a pure rippoff of Net::Telnet::Cisco, with adaptations to make it work on the Netscreen firewalls. It also has some additional commands, but for basic functionality, see Net::Telnet and Net::Telnet::Cisco documentation.

use Net::Telnet::Netscreen;

my $fw = new Net::Telnet::Netscreen(host=>192.168.1.1); $fw->login(admin,password) or die $fw->error; $fw->enter_vsys(wineasy.no); print "We are now in: ".$fw->current_vsys."n"; my %vsys=$fw->get_vsys; foreach $key (sort (keys %vsys)) { print $key,=, $vsys{$key},"n"; } print @results;

Before you use Net::Telnet::Netscreen, you should probably have a good understanding of Net::Telnet, so perldoc Net::Telnet first, and then come back to Net::Telnet::Netscreen to see where the improvements are.

Some things are easier to accomplish with Net::SNMP. SNMP has three advantages: its faster, handles errors better, and doesnt use any vtys on the router. SNMP does have some limitations, so for anything you cant accomplish with SNMP, theres Net::Telnet::Netscreen.

New methods not found in Net::Telnet follow:

enter_vsys - enter a virtual system

Enter a virtual system in the firewall. parameter is system you want to enter . You may enter another vsys even if you are in a vsys. Note that we will save your changes for you if you do. (only works for ns-500+)

enter_vsys - exit from the level you are on

exit from the vsys you are in, or from the system if you are on the top. takes one parameter. if you should save any changes or not. (only works for ns-500+)

current_vsys - show current vsys

return the vsys you currently are in. returns blank if youre not in a vsys. (only works for ns-500+)

get_vsys - return vsys.

returns a hash of all the virtual systems on your system, with system ids for values (only works for ns-500+)

ha_mode - return high availability mode.

return the HA mode, if your system is in a HA cluster, or false if it isnt.

ping - ping a system. Returns percentage of success (0-100).

$sucess=$fw->ping(192.168.1.1);

exit - Exit system

use this command to exit system, or exit current vsys

getValue - Set a value from the box.

Will return a value from the firewall, or from the vsys you are in, if you arent in root.

setValue - Set a Value in the box.

Set a value in the box, returns true if set successfully.

lastPrompt - Show the last prompt returned.

Shows the last prompt returned by your netscreen device.
