SIMPING

Introduction

SIMPING is a simple ping clone program that I made to understand more about raw socket, icmp packet, ip flood attack

SIMPING supports

• IPv4 protocol

SIMPING does not support

• IPv6 protocol
• DNS
• echo reply listener is not implemented

OS supports

• Linux

Requirements

• gcc
• make

Installation

git clone https://github.com/TVKain/simping.git
cd simping
make 
./simping -h

Features

• packet with custom size
• send packet indefinitely until receive interrupt, can specify delay between each packet
• specify number of packets to send
• disable/enable logging
• send as many packets as possible (try to flood with the command simping -t <ip_address>)

Usage: ./simping [-s <size>] [-d <delay>] [-c <count>] <-t <ip_address>>
Options:
    -t, --target <ip_address>       Specify the target address to send the packet
    -s, --size <size>               Specify the size (in bytes) of the packet to be sent
                                    If not specify default size is 64 bytes
    -d, --delay <delay>             Specify the delay (in milisecond) between each packet
                                    If not specify send without delay
    -c, --count <packet_count>      Specify the number of packets to be sent
                                    If not specify send until receive interrupt
    -l, --logging                   If not specify does not log anything
    -h, --help                      Display this help message
