A simple tool for sending ICMP Echo Request packets to a given target
cargo build
pingers takes a single argument which is a CSV-formatted table of target
parameters. Each target row consists of:
- the target ipv4 address
- the number of pings to send
- the interval between pings
Target parameters must be separated by commas. Target rows must be separated by semi-colons.
$ echo '1.1.1.1,10,100;8.8.8.8,3,1000' | xargs ./target/debug/pingers
8.8.8.8,0,20441
1.1.1.1,0,20468
1.1.1.1,1,20390
1.1.1.1,2,19251
1.1.1.1,3,18446
1.1.1.1,4,19516
1.1.1.1,5,19237

Note: this either needs to be run as root OR the binary needs to be given enhanced network-related capabilities, eg:
# setcap cap_net_admin,cap_net_raw+ep ./target/debug/pingers
