Pingus
A simple ping tool. Supports TCP / UDP / ICMP protocol.
Pingus can...
Send ICMP echo request & ttl traceroute.
Send ping, scan to TCP / UDP ports & banner grabbing.
Send magic packet (Wake on LAN) using UDP ping.
Currently some functions are WIP (IP Range Scan).

API
pingus.Ping
Class: pingus.Ping
is EventEmitter
with the following events:
'ready'
Event: -
result
<Object>
Emitted when ready (Resolve DNS, Filter Bogon IP) to send ping after call ping.send()
.
import pingus from 'pingus';
const ping = new pingus.PingTCP({
host: 'example.com',
});
ping.on('ready', (result) => {
console.log('ping\ttarget:\t', result.host);
console.log('\tips:\t', result.ips);
});
ping.send();
Result (Console Output)
ping target: example.com
ips: [ '93.184.216.34', '2606:2800:220:1:248:1893:25c8:1946' ]
'result'
Event: -
result
<Object>
Result of ping data.
import pingus from 'pingus';
const ping = new pingus.PingTCP({
host: 'example.com',
});
ping.on('result', (result) => {
console.log(result);
});
ping.send();
