Free C library to ping IPv4 and IPv6 hosts in parallel liboping is a free and open source C based library to generate ICMP echo requests, better known as “ping packets”. liboping is intended for use in network monitoring applications or applications that would otherwise need to fork ping(1) frequently. Included is a sample application, called oping, which demonstrates the library's abilities. liboping is like ping, ping6, and fping rolled into one. liboping was inspired by ping, libping and fping: It differs from these existing solutions in that it can `ping' multiple hosts in parallel using IPv4 or IPv6 transparently. Other design principles were an object oriented interface, simplicity and extensibility. Here are some key features of "liboping": · Support for multiple hosts. · Support for IPv4 and IPv6. · Object oriented interface. What's New in This Release: · The new release fixes a serious security issue in oping: If the application is installed with the SetUID-bit, anybody on the system could use oping to read arbitrary files using the “-f” option. · Version 1.2.0 and all later versions are effected. Upgrading as soon as possible is highly recommended. Thanks to Steve Kemp for reporting this problem!
