Free ping software for mac

If you deal with PNG files, you need this app.
PNG is a great format. Its lossless, patent-free, open, and supported by all sorts of stuff. Its great for screenshots, line drawings, and anything that needs to look good. Unfortunately, many programs which save to PNG format do a horrible job of it. Adobe Photoshop is one of the worst offenders, creating PNG files many times the size they should be. So we created Ping. To use it, simply drop a PNG file on it. Ping will then optimize the file, often reducing its size to a mere fraction of the original.
Unlike similar utilities, Ping is a Universal Binary. Not only that, but weve optimized OptiPNG (the underlying tech. that powers Ping) for the latest Intel chips -- taking advantage of all the cool (at least to us geeks) features thatre at the heart of Apples latest and greatest computers.
Interested? Well Ping is free -- so try it out!
Enhancements:
- Fixed bug preventing multiple file drag and drops.

Web Ping is a simple application to test an internet connection to a perticular site. I created this application after my work moved locations and half our network stayed in the old building and the other half moved with us to the new location. A flaky (significant point) VPN was set up to keep the two connected. Since a couple of the unmoved servers were of interest to me, I keeped checking to see if they were still accessable with the ping command before doing any serious work with them. A quick and pathetic Google resulted in no other program that meet my needes, so I wrote one.

Insted of doing an actual network ping, Web Ping tests a connection by downloading a web page on a given server. The size of the page and time are stored in memory and the times are graphed. In this way, sites that block network a ping can still be tracked.

Web Ping also keeps track of the largest and smallest download times per session and also tracks the max and min values currently on the graph. Times of interest are graphed in a color which represents if it is a max or a min. (see figure one). The history tab also lists all the max values as they have been recevied. A running average is also calculated with each download. The files downloaded are not processed or stored in any way. This prevents any security problems that can normaly happen in a web browser enviroment. The only two pecies of information retained about a downloaded file is the size and time.

OnePing 1.0b is a comprehensive, user friendly and fast MP3 tool. OnePing is a strange ping-synth: It can generate 16 pings at one time and is layed out like a drum-machine (one key, one ping). Every ping has 6 parameters: frequency, duration, distortion, amplitude, panning and noise amount.

Pingling is a dockling that uses ping to test whether or not you have a working connection to the internet.

It shows the status of your connection in the Dock on a second-by-second basis.

Great for Wi-Fi users.

I wrote this because my internet service has been up and down for the last couple of weeks. Its really handy to know before you start trying to do something whether or not its going to work. Its also good for getting your iBook lined up just so to access a weak wi-fi signal.

Pingboard is a simple Mac OS X Dashboard widget for posting to the Ping.fm social aggregator service.
You can use this to post to Facebook, Myspace, Twitter, FriendFeed, and zillions more.
NOTE: Pingboard is licensed and distributed under the terms of MIT License.

Main features:
- Its a Dashboard widget, so it has that going for it
- Allows all types of posting, including custom triggers
- Keeps a message history, which you can edit and re-post in case of error or lack of creativity
- Has both a front and a back, and a previously only theorized third side for error messages
- Is not unnecessarily attractive, to discourage frivolous posting.
- Multiple account support (one per widget instance)

Enhancements
- Use new system.services API to discover information about services supported by Ping.fm.
- Allow the exclusion of certain services when posting -- click the service icon shown in the list, and that service (e.g., Twitter) will be excluded from receiving the message.
Some Javascript library changes (not end-user visible):
- actually use the Ajax queue to serialize requests if enabled
- PingFMAPI is now an instantiable object (new PingFMAPI())
- A rewrite function can be supplied to transform Ajax requests to e.g. use a proxy or have different arguments. A sample rewriter is supplied: FlexProxyRewriter. This can be useful when trying to use the Javascript library outside of dashboard, where the same-origin limitations prevent direct access to api.ping.fm.

hping2 is an interactive packet costructor and responses analyzer that uses the same CLI of the ping program (but with a lot of extensions).
hping2 can be used to performs a lot of tasks, like testing of firewall rules, (spoofed) port scanning, et cetera.
The interface is inspired to the ping(8) unix command, but hping isnt only able to send ICMP echo requests.
hping2 supports TCP, UDP, ICMP and RAW-IP protocols, has a traceroute mode, the ability to send files between a covered channel, and many other features.
hping2 is multi-platform and works on the following OSs: Mac OS X, Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, Solaris, Windows.

Main features:
- Firewall testing
- Advanced port scanning
- Network testing, using different protocols, TOS, fragmentation
- Manual path MTU discovery
- Advanced traceroute, under all the supported protocols
- Remote OS fingerprinting
- Remote uptime guessing
- TCP/IP stacks auditing
- hping can also be useful to students that are learning TCP/IP.

PoorMansPinger is a small aplication that enables you to ping a specific range to TCP/IP addresses.
Output is recorded into a FileMaker Pro 7 database.

I put an Open Network Utility button on the FileMaker layout so you can further investigate a specific TCP/IP address which interests you. This solution is free and the ... AppleScript is editable. I hope you enjoy using it.
