TCPING 2.8.0

TCPING is a command line software that performs connectivity tests using TCP instead of ICMP, inspired by the traditional ping tool from Linux. It is a functional solution for environments where ICMP is blocked, providing an efficient alternative for network monitoring and auditing.

Main Features

• Alternative to ICMP: Works in networks that block the ICMP protocol, using TCP as the base.
• Customizable output: Displays information in colorful formats, plain text, JSON, CSV, and sqlite3.
• Detailed monitoring: Measures latency, packet loss, and connection quality, allowing for accurate audits.
• Flexible settings: Offers options to define source interface, timeout, and interval between tests.
• IPv4 and IPv6 compatibility: Allows forcing the use of either protocol.
• Real-time statistics: Displays total connection statistics upon pressing Enter, without interrupting execution.
• Uptime and downtime reports: Provides information on the longest periods of time online and offline encountered.
• DNS revalidation: Includes a function to retry name resolution after consecutive failures, ideal for DNS load balancing or GSLB testing.
• Advanced sequential numbering: Uses distinct TCP sequence numbers for successful and unsuccessful tests, allowing for quick identification of failures or successes.

TCPING is a powerful and practical tool for professionals who need a robust solution for connectivity testing and diagnostics in networks, especially in scenarios where traditional ping is not an option.
