As other comments say, It’s a bit of a crowded market…

That's a nice name, but I'll have to sacrifice my Chinese pun.

Wow ~, in all honesty, Nping needs to do more

thanks ~ I named it because of the pun in Chinese at the time, so maybe in the future I'll consider using a binary like pping.

thanks ~. I have compiled corresponding binaries for common operating system versions, which may not cover all operating systems.

Thanks ~ I named it that way because of the pun in Chinese at the time, and didn't think it would have some heat at the time, so I'll take your offer seriously

How about "pingui"? :)

this really needs to be thought about.

pping already exists too. It’s a bit of a crowded market…

There’s:

• 2ping <https://www.finnie.org/software/2ping/>

• fping <https://www.fping.org/>

• hping <http://www.hping.org/>

• nping <https://nmap.org/>

• oping <https://noping.cc/documentation/oping/>

There’s also qping, tping and rping, but they are not implementing ping functionality, but are tools for checking the status of specific remote services.

Nice overview. I see there's space for some more networking tools since there's plenty of letters to go. Is there a hash table to pick the next letter?

Is there an awesome-{}-tools list of these somewhere by chance?

I just used

  apt-file search --regexp 'bin/.ping'

If I extend it to

  apt-file search --regexp 'bin/[^/]*ping$'

I also find:

• smokeping <https://smokeping.org/>

smokeping is one of the best of these bunch, if not significantly more effort to setup.

Oh, my God. ~
