[NEW TOOL] Is it possible to develop some basic diagnostic tools about the network?

[Leevan-Zhang]

What tool do you want? For now, there were some tools in network part, but they are all for ip address and Mac. If there was a tool can contains "tcp/ip ping" "port scanner" etc, it could be very useful ! They are all small and simple tools and will not be that complex I think.

Describe the solution you'd like People can add the tools URL in bookmarks. And easily to use them by just click it .

Is their example of this tool in the wild? There were a mount of them I think , I am not a Linux expert. I have wrote some demo for "ping" & "port" scanner CLI via Python and it will no more than 100 lines code. it's easily to deliver in backend.

Hi @wo5463 , this is not really possible from a browser, JS cannot access everywhere and cannot do raw socket access, will require a local application or server side, so probably not the goal of this project

But maybe can just make links to other websites if you provide urls for such

Thanks for answering! You have mentioned "server side" I think that gives me some ideas. :) I think this "application" could be close then.
