Improved icmp time/mask querying program

After releasing the ICMP time and mask querying programs, I looked at the code again and realized that they possess that special degree of ugliness which only comes from sitting around at 3am thinking "I need to slop together something to get this done." To remedy this, they've just had a complete rewrite, and they're a bit better. To improve the accuracy of time comparisons, the program now performs the pings in parallel (performing host resolution as a preprocessing step to minimize latency). This has the added benefit of speeding things up quite a bit for lots of hosts. The two programs have also merged into one, "icmpquery", since they had about 95% of their code in common. It's available from: http://www.angio.net/security/icmpquery.c (no readme, the source and usage are fairly self-explanatory). I haven't tried it on a wide variety of platforms, so if it works for you, let me know. It has been tested under FreeBSD and Linux. The old version was tested under Solaris, and most of that code is pretty much the same. -Dave Andersen -- work: danderse () cs utah edu me: angio () pobox com University of Utah http://www.angio.net/ Computer Science - Flux Research Group
