dstp's Issues

[FEATURE] Need of a timeout option ?

Hello!

I tried with a website down like jetable.org
But no answer/summary from the tool dstp 💥
Is there a timeout option ?

➜ dstp jetable.org
^C
~ took 8m 32s
➜ dig +short jetable.org
193.200.42.56
➜ ping jetable.org
PING jetable.org (193.200.42.56): 56 data bytes
Request timeout for icmp_seq 0
Request timeout for icmp_seq 1
Request timeout for icmp_seq 2
^C
--- jetable.org ping statistics ---
4 packets transmitted, 0 packets received, 100.0% packet loss

I also need something help with build bstp!

I try to using go install github.com/ycd/dstp/cmd/dstp,but I not get bstp binary;

Using go build cmd/dstp/main.go and I also cann`t get bstp binary!

my os info!

I`m try to build bstp,but i got a error!

I`m try to build bstp,but i got a error!
no Go files in /root/wapper/dstp;
I don't understand what happened.

[Documentation] Update README for installation with go command

Hello there 👋

I am currently trying the tool and I installed it with go install.

By copy/pasting the command from the CLI, I got the following error

go install: version is required when current directory is not in a module
	Try 'go install github.com/ycd/dstp/cmd/dstp@latest' to install the latest version

Using the following does not solve the installation:

go install github.com/ycd/dstp/cmd/dstp@latest

Do you have an idea how it could be installed with go ?

go install

Is it possible to install this tool with go install? Any reasons why you guys prefer go build + cp? Interesting tool!

Please report this issue to the ycd/tap tap (not Homebrew/brew or Homebrew/core):

brew formula needs update.

system vs DNS resolution

One distinction that could be useful is to do both a resolution through the system, like by calling gethostbyname() in the glibc, and doing the DNS resolution manually by querying the root DNS servers or 8.8.8.8. Both can yield different results and help inform why a host might fail.

There are many reasons why a system resolver might yield a different result. A few that come to mind:

• caching: the system resolver, or ISP resolver might be caching some old results
• /etc/hosts file has an entry for that hostname
• the /etc/resolv.conf has a search domain, that has an entry. If the original hostname doesn't exist, it would fall back on that one.

[FEATURE] Support Alternate Ports

Thanks for making such a useful tool! It would be swell if it could be used to test services running on alternate ports. Plex, for example, often uses port 32400:

# A standard service listening on 443 with a trusted cert.
❯ dstp https://standardService.myDomain.tld
Ping: 251.027µs
DNS: resolving VALID_IP
SystemDNS: resolving VALID_IP
TLS: certificate is valid for 79 more days
HTTPS: got 200 OK

# A Plex server running remotely on port 32400 with a trusted cert.
❯ dstp https://plex.myDomian.tld:32400
Ping: no response (this is expected from the location this server is running)
DNS: resolving VALID_IP
SystemDNS: resolving VALID_IP
TLS: dial tcp VALID_IP:443: connect: connection timed out
HTTPS: Get "https://plex.myDomain.tld": dial tcp VALID_IP:443: i/o timeout

I got the same result passing the URL with the -a flag. The expectation is that the tests would use the port provided in this argument where applicable.

[FEATURE] Add cron-job ability and announcers

Add cron-job ability so that the dstp can re-run the tests against the given site in the specified amount of time and add the logic for announcing results in slack, discord etc.

An example usage in my mind:

$ export SLACK_TOKEN="token"
$ export SLACK_CHANNEL_ID="1234567"

$ dstp --cron=300 --announce="slack" 8.8.8.8

Then this re-runs the tests in every 5 minutes(300 sec) and announces the results to given slack channel.

• Add cron-job logic
• Add announcer for Slack.
• Add announcer for Discord.

ping: socket: permission denied on WSL

I got following error in WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) terminal (Ubuntu 20.04):

me@JNNH00004L:~$ dstp https://google.com
Ping: failed to run ping: socket: permission denied
DNS: failed to run ping: socket: permission denied

Ping command is working OK:

[BUG] Issue with parsing -a/--addr

Hello,

I've noticed that I am unable to run the tests with ./dstp -a 8.8.8.8 on macOS (haven't tested on Linux yet). I've isolated the issue with how the flags are parsed in

dstp/config/config.go

Line 44 in 1c9140c

fs.StringVar(&opts.Addr, "a", "", "The URL or the IP address to run tests against")

I was able to isolate it by adding fmt.Println(values) in cmd/dstp/main.go and seeing that values was empty:

$ make; sudo ./dstp -a 8.8.8.8
go build -o dstp cmd/dstp/main.go
Password:
opts.Addr value: 8.8.8.8
values variable value: []
address cannot be empty

Usage: dstp [OPTIONS] [ARGS]
Options:
        -a, --addr   <string>  The URL or the IP address to run tests against      [REQUIRED]
        -o, --out    <string>  The type of the output, either json or plaintext    [Default: plaintext]
        -c           <bool>    Run all the tests concurrently.                     [Default: false]
        -h, --help             Show this message and exit.

In order to run it, I have to update

dstp/config/config.go

Line 69 in 1c9140c

if opts.Addr == "" && len(values) >= 1 {

to remove the values size condition:

$ tail config/config.go
	if opts.Addr != "" { // && len(values) >= 1 {
                // opts.Addr = values[0]
        } else {
                fmt.Println(opts.Addr)
                return nil, fmt.Errorf("address cannot be empty")
        }

        return opts, nil
}

$ make; sudo ./dstp -a 8.8.8.8
go build -o dstp cmd/dstp/main.go
Password:
opts.Addr value: 8.8.8.8
values variable value: []
Ping: 329.766ms
DNS: resolving 8.8.8.8
TLS: certificate is valid for 60 more days
HTTPS: got 200 OK

Another issue I've noticed is that on macOS, you need to set pinger.SetPrivileged(true) on

dstp/pkg/ping/ping.go

Line 13 in 1c9140c

pinger, err := createPinger(addr.String())

and

dstp/pkg/ping/ping.go

Line 41 in 1c9140c

pinger, err := createPinger(addr.String())

and run dstp with sudo. I suppose that it's the same issue as on Linux.
