This project analyse the RTT time for a ipv4 host or ipv6 host using the ICMP echo request/ reply message.

It is try to port the [ping_sweep] (https://github.com/Who8MyLunch/Ping_Sweep) project in go language which is written in the Python language.

Example

[example.go] (https://github.com/subh007/go_ping_sweep/blob/master/example/example.go)

package main

import (
	"flag"
	"fmt"
	"github.com/subh007/go_ping_sweep"
	"os"
)

func main() {
	host := flag.String("host", "", "ip address/ hostname to analyse the ping.")
	flag.Parse()

	if host == nil {
		fmt.Println("usage: ./example --host <host name/ip>")
		os.Exit(-1)
	}

	if go_ping_sweep.IsAdmin() {
		t, err := go_ping_sweep.PingAnalyse(*host, 10)
		if err != nil {
			fmt.Println(err.Error())
			os.Exit(-1)
		}
		t.CreateTable()
	}
}

After building and installing (go build && go install in example folder) the example code, run the command with the root priviledge :

$ sudo example --host google.com

TimePing : RTT(round trip time), time taken to receive the ICMP echo reply after sending ICMP echo request message.

DataSize : payload size of ICMP packet.

PacketSize : packet size of including ICMP header.

status : PING PASS/FAIL.

Features to be added:

• Non-blocking echo request-response (using go-routines and workgroup).
• ipv6 ping support.
• ping analysis based on the packet size.
• beautify the table alignment with the table header (I have plan to move the [table.go] (https://github.com/subh007/go_ping_sweep/blob/master/table.go) as standalone project).
• bugfixes
