Today we release dentp! dentp is an OS X, Objective-C, Cocoa application that behaves similarly to the ping command-line utility. It issues ICMP_ECHO datagrams to the user-supplied hostname or IP address and examines the ICMP_ECHOREPLY from the destination. If the destination is unreachable (i.e., ICMP_UNREACH or ICMP code 3), then dentp displays a message and aborts further ICMP_ECHO request attempts. If the ICMP ID is different than dentp's originating ID (i.e., the process ID), then it prints a message and skips the datagram. If the ICMP type is different than ICMP_ECHOREPLY, the application prints the bytes received and message type. FEATURES dentp supports the "-c" option of the ping command-line utility. It may be enabled via the Preferences sheet and a slider within the application. All preferences are stored as OS X "user defaults," which can be viewed with the defaults command. For example, 'defaults read com.erico.dentp" will show any saved defaults once the application is run. Any entered hostnames, up to 10, are also stored as a history. There is also a "verbose" option on the Preference sheet. This is used for debugging within the console. NOTES dentp only supports OS X 10.4 and higher. Currently, only IPv4 is supported, but IPv6 may be added soon.
