PingEx Alternative to Network PING

This tool is a great alternative to Windows Ping.exe file. Not only does it work with ICMP, it works with Internet Explorer type protocols (such as HTTP, HTTPS and FTP). On the ICMP Protocol (which is the protocol Windows Ping uses) allows you to specify the data that will be echoed back from the host If you don’t specify a the data string it will use the date time, packet index number and process id as the default data. This is option -d.

The default data will look like something like this if its being sniffed:

12/19/2017 4:39:28 PM#1 5676.

Where blue is the date and time red is the packet number and purple is the process id. And to end packet to make it more readable I put a period at the end of it.

To see what available command line options are type in pingex.exe /?  At the command prompt where you unzipped it to.

Here are some few examples here

Pingex.exe 8.8.8.8 -d “Hi Google DNS”

The command above pings google dns(8.8.8.8) with the data bytes set to “Hi Google DNS’

Pingex.exe http://www.pontaic90.org/ -n 5 –url

The command above does an HTTP ping with 5 request, don’t forget to put in –url in the command line otherwise you will have problems.

You can press Control+C at anytime to abort the ping tool and see the results. As well as viewing them without ending the ping by pressing Control+Break

Also checkout the Internet resetter option in it that can reboot any router or modem when the internet goes down see SerialResetter.bat and SerialResetter_Schematic.pdf file. Requires a circuit to be built and working with mains voltage.

Features of version 1.0.0.1 are offline batch file and random website URL Ping

All programs are virus free. Some antivirus software might say its "suspicious" or a "Potentionaly Unwanted Program". Some of them rate them on what there code looks like no matter if theres a definition in the virus database. If any of them are detected any Antivirus I will zip the software with the password "justin" j is lowercase
