Ping hosts using tcp syn packets.
Please note that full tcp handshake is used, we want the program to behave nicely and to explicit close the connection after each "ping".
Simple example:
$ synping example.org Pinging example.org 4 times on port 80: Reply from 93.184.216.34:80 time=7.40 ms Reply from 93.184.216.34:80 time=10.31 ms Reply from 93.184.216.34:80 time=7.18 ms Reply from 93.184.216.34:80 time=6.92 ms Statistics: -------------------------- Host: example.org Sent: 4 packets Received: 4 packets Lost: 0 packets (0.00%) Min time: 6.92 ms Max time: 10.31 ms Average time: 7.95 ms
- Works on Python 2 and Python 3
- Uses only Python standard library for maximum compatibility
Install using pip:
pip install synping
or
Download and set executable permission on the script file:
