ManyPing

Ping many IPs simultaneously - A PHP web application for concurrent IP monitoring

Features

• Concurrent IP Pinging: Monitor multiple IPs simultaneously
• Flexible Input Formats:
• Single IPs: 192.168.1.1
• IP Ranges: 192.168.1.1-10
• CIDR Notation: 192.168.1.0/24 (auto-expanded)
• Scan Modes:
• One-off scans for quick checks
• Repeated scans with configurable intervals (5-300 seconds)
• Rate Limiting: Built-in protection to prevent DDOS behavior
• Maximum 50 IPs per scan
• Minimum 5-second interval between scans
• Visual Response Time Graphing: Real-time Chart.js graphs showing response times per IP
• Friendly Names: Assign custom names to IPs for easier identification
• Status Indicators: Clear visual indicators (✅/❌) with timestamps
• Host Information: Display hostname and response codes on success
• Statistics Dashboard: Real-time stats showing total IPs, online/offline counts, and average response times

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

      git clone https://github.com/BlindTrevor/SimulPing.git
      cd ManyPing

2. Ensure you have PHP installed (PHP 7.0 or higher recommended)
3. Start a local PHP server:

      php -S localhost:8000

4. Open your browser and navigate to:

      http://localhost:8000

Usage

Input Format

Enter IPs one per line in the text area. Each line can have:

• An IP address, range, or CIDR notation


• An optional friendly name (separated by space)

192.168.1.1 Home Router
192.168.1.10-20 DHCP Range
192.168.1.0/24 Local Network
8.8.8.8 Google DNS
1.1.1.1 Cloudflare DNS

Scan Modes

1. One-time Scan: Performs a single scan of all IPs
2. Repeat Scan: Continuously scans at specified intervals (5-300 seconds)

Understanding Results

• Status icon (✅ online / ❌ offline)
• Friendly name (if provided)
• IP address
• Host information (resolved hostname)
• Response time in milliseconds
• Last check timestamp

Response Time Graph

The graph displays historical response times for all online IPs, updating with each scan. Useful for monitoring network stability and latency trends.

Rate Limiting

• Maximum of 50 IPs can be scanned at once
• Minimum 5-second interval between scans (enforced server-side)
• CIDR ranges are limited to /24 or smaller (max 256 IPs)
• Input is automatically truncated if limits are exceeded

Session Management

• Uses PHP sessions for rate limiting (no persistent storage on server)
• Sessions automatically expire after 60 minutes of inactivity
• All tracking is temporary and session-based only
• No user data is permanently stored on the server

Requirements

• PHP 7.0 or higher
• PHP exec() function must be enabled
• Operating system with ping command available (Linux, Mac, Windows)
• Modern web browser with JavaScript enabled

Security Considerations

• The application is designed for internal network monitoring
• Rate limiting prevents abuse
• Input validation sanitizes all IP addresses
• Commands are properly escaped to prevent injection attacks
• Recommend running behind authentication in production environments

Browser Compatibility

• Chrome/Edge (recommended)
• Firefox
• Safari
• Any modern browser with JavaScript and Canvas support

Troubleshooting

• Ensure ping is available in your system PATH
• On some systems, ping may require elevated permissions

• Check browser console for errors
• Ensure PHP exec() function is not disabled
• Verify firewall rules allow ICMP packets

• Reduce the number of IPs being scanned
• Increase scan interval for repeated scans
• Check network connectivity
