Advanced command-line ping tool

powerping's Issues

Add graph

Add icmp_seq info to timeout

for example

request timed out for icmp_seq=3

Build for lower .net version

or for client profile

Look into TravisCI support

Add source address option

How to

            SetSocketOption(SocketOptionLevel.Udp, SocketOptionName.NoChecksum, 1);
            sock.Bind((EndPoint)new IPEndPoint(attrs.Source, 0));

Update help message from readme

Add option to toggle colour

Add version command

Fix Control C event handler

Event C handler currently not working properly, works with delay/lag

Responsiveness tested in:

• Sending Normally (requires more testing)
• Graph
• Flood (requires more testing)
• Scan

Complete Scan and Flood multithread implementation

Make sure correct address type is returned on DNS lookup

Make sure address returned from lookup is correct IP version.
Currently crashes when returned address is IPv6 (tries to send IPv4)
Check look up code in ping add sanity check

Port PowerPing to other platforms

• Restructure project for dotnet and .net4.5 builds
• Create Bash build script for building project with .netcore
• Create Bash build script for building project with mono
• Batch script for building standard windows binary
• Travis CI yml script for .netcore and mono (couple of versions of each) (could use previous build script)
• Add platform/build info to version text (also remove build date)
• Make sure file versions persist with .net core builds
• Installers for each build platform

Add args loop

Add time to live (TTL) argument

Fix loc reverse logic in program.cs

Add scan option

Invalid arguments being accepted

Stop this from being accepted

Extend ping.cs with IDisposable

Catch IO and General Exceptions while waiting for a ICMP reply

Add general dns address resolution to location lookup

Add Icon

Add basic tests

• http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/UploadFile/7ca517/unit-test-with-console-application/

• https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms182532.aspx

• https://www.codeproject.com/Articles/17652/How-to-Test-Console-Applications

• Arguments testing

• Basic functionality testing

Clean up scan

Check input and proper address finding in program.cs
Add to readme and help

Add traceroute function

Add option to change packet size

Avoid blocking addresses containing '-'s

Add no input to location lookup commands

Return console cursor position to under graph on control c

Add PingStatus enum to PingResults

Also display number of error ICMPs to results (look at .net implementation)

Startup mischecks for inputted address

if (attributes.Address != "") throw new FormatException();
Is a false positive check, should be:
if (attributes.Address == "") throw new FormatException();

Add multithread support

Add argument to add shorthand time stamp

Display time stamp along with reply Eg 13:45:00

Display statistics closes when invoked with control-c

Change over license from Apache to MIT

In program.cs

Add option to show location of address while pinging

Get location once at start of ping sequence and go from there

Changes for safe cross platform code

• Remove path specific characters ('/', '')
• Start using Enviroment.NewLine instead of \n

Scan and Loc arguments arent working

Add argument to send ICMP with a supplied type

Add IPv6 support

Can maybe be done by changing port type depending on IP Version ping property (that would need to be added)

Add tunneling

Background: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ICMP_tunnel
UI: https://stackoverflow.com/a/7464499
Encryption: https://stackoverflow.com/a/10177020
https://www.codeproject.com/Articles/14150/Encrypt-and-Decrypt-Data-with-C

Different tunnel features:

• Simple UDP or TCP over ICMP
• Stagnography and packet spam while tunneling
• Simple messaging app

<1ms time being displayed after Timout

Seems to only occur after a timeout has occured and seems to stop after another timeout has occured, could be an error with timer or display function

Add --location and --whoami argument to help message

make sure ping isn't sent if either arguments are used

Add .NET core support

Improve statistics

• Display stats while ping is running by pressing a key
• Add more stats
• Make sure percentage lost is working

Add more screenshots

Add more screenshots to repository and readme.md

Top of columns persisting in graph view

Top of columns of a specific size (over about 500ms) are persistently being drawn on screen, is either due to:

• Inadequate height being used in Graph.Clear()
• Column arrays not being set properly in Graph.CreateColumn

Application crashes when ping is running and pc goes to to sleep

SocketException thrown due to buffer overload?
Solution could be to move socket.sendto into try catch (check if this cause any adverse effects) maybe by changing:

Ping.cs

// Send ping request
timer.Start();
sock.SendTo(packet.getBytes(), packetSize, SocketFlags.None, iep);
sent++;

try
{
	// Try recieve ping response
	byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
	recv = sock.ReceiveFrom(buffer, ref ep);
	timer.Stop();

	// Display reply packet
	ICMP response = new ICMP(buffer, recv);
	displayReplyPacket(response, ep, index);
	recieved++;

}

To:

try
{
	// Send ping request
	timer.Start();
	sock.SendTo(packet.getBytes(), packetSize, SocketFlags.None, iep);
	sent++;

	// Try recieve ping response
	byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
	recv = sock.ReceiveFrom(buffer, ref ep);
	timer.Stop();

	// Display reply packet
	ICMP response = new ICMP(buffer, recv);
	displayReplyPacket(response, ep, index);
	recieved++;

}

Add support for Colorful.Console

Switch to using Async for sending and recieving packets

• Should implement async callbacks: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.net.sockets.socket.beginreceive?view=netframework-4.7.2
• Refactor sendICMP

Quicker DNS resolve method?
