phpNet

Description

The phpNet library provides functionality to perform network-related tasks such as scanning a port, sending a ping, and performing a DNS lookup.

Features

• Allows for scanning a specified port on a specified IP address or domain name
• Provides a method for sending a ping request to a specified IP address or domain name and returns the latency on success or false on failure
• Allows for performing DNS lookups for a specified hostname and record type (A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, NS, PTR, SOA, TXT)
• Uses the phpLogger library to log information, errors, and successes
• Can be configured with options like logging level to control the amount of output produced by the library

Why you might need it?

You might need it if you're developing a web application or network monitoring tool that requires such functionality. For example, you may need to check if a particular port is open on a server, or monitor the availability of a website by sending a ping request. Additionally, the phpNet library can be used to automate tasks like network reconnaissance and penetration testing.

Methods

config($option, $value)

Configures the library with the specified option and value. The only supported option is level which specifies the logging level.

// Configure phpNet Log Level to Debug
$phpNet->config("level",5);

scan($ip, $port, $timeout)

Scans a network port on the specified IP address. Returns true if the port is open, and false otherwise.

// Scan a Port
$phpNet->scan("google.com","HTTPS");
$phpNet->scan("google.com",443);

ping($ip)

Sends a ping to the specified IP address and returns the latency on success or false on failure.

// Ping an IP
$phpNet->ping("127.0.0.1");
$phpNet->ping("::1");
$phpNet->ping("google.com");

lookup($hostname, $type)

Performs a DNS lookup for the specified hostname and returns an array of IP addresses on success, or false on failure.

// Lookup a Domain
$phpNet->lookup("google.com");
$phpNet->lookup("google.gov.us");
