Pinger

[spyrorocks]

Hello all.

I need some help. is there some way to make your own ping() function in autoit that doesent require any extra files, like ping.exe?

Thanks in advance!

Did you try Ping() from the help file? This is a function already build on AutoIT.

Ping ( address or hostname [, timeout] )

I don't think any tcp/ip function in autoIt will help.

but before you do that, do you know how ping packets look like?(requests/echos)

use command prompt

[rbhkamal]

use command prompt

Doesn't that mean to use "ping.exe"

Use the address as a parameter to the script?

;run as: scriptname address
;example for script named my_ping:
;my_ping www.AutoItScript.com

If $CmdLine[0] <> 1 Then
    MsgBox(0, "", "No parameter found!")
    Exit
EndIf
$speed = Ping($CmdLine[1], 1000)
MsgBox(0, "", $speed)

Try something like this:

#include <Constants.au3>
Dim $log, $output
$log=Run ( @ComSpec & ' /c ping 127.0.0.1', '', @SW_HIDE, $STDERR_CHILD + $STDOUT_CHILD )
While 1
    $line = StdoutRead($log)
    If @error Then ExitLoop
    $output = $output & @CR & $line
Wend
While 1
    $line = StderrRead($log)
    If @error Then ExitLoop
    $output = $output & @CR & $line
Wend
MsgBox (0, 'Ping', $output)

You can replace "ping 127.0.0.1" with your own program and/or ip. You will have to do some String-commands to get what you want.

I need to be able to send my own packet of data to the remote machine.

[evilertoaster]

TCPSend() or so.

If you want somthing that can just blurt out random packets without a reciever, well...that's different.

[spyrorocks]

ok you know how the ping command sends packets? I need to ping a computer on the internet exept put my own custom data in the ping packet.

[evilertoaster]

the 'ping' packet is a special case packet for intergated into TCP/TP. There is only one type of 'ping' packet...if you alter it, it is no logner a 'ping' packet...its is just data..the kind you would send with TCPSend()

You could send the data that is in the Ping packet with TCPSend() and it woudl be the same as ping...

read this- http://pcausa.com/resources/ndispacket_decode.htm

So really you could go TCPSend ("TheDataShownOnThatLink") and it would be a 'ping' packet
