   Such a helpful tool

   Smokeping used to be one of my favourity tools when I was working as a SysAdmin long time ago. It's offers such a clever way of presenting the data, that it is super easy to identify any issues.

   I still wonder why modern tools haven't adopted this ingenious technique.

   👍 Pros:    Usability

   👎 Cons:    Not actively maintained

• Made a slowloris experiment for my school essay, but i don't understand some stuff

  It's possible what you had was 2 devices transmitting packets at the same time resulting in a collision Given that you were doing a slowloris attack I would consider this success (or failure) in other words the attack worked. Here are a few other things you might find useful. Source: over 1 year ago

• free proxies

  A VPN is good because it is encrypted and hard to find your IP. Even a router will use DHCP and change your IP but if the router is in your own home that is a dead giveaway. This and other tools like that can help to see all the relay points (collision domains) in the route. Source: over 1 year ago

• IP address

  You might narrow it down by using traceroute How the ISP chooses to identify their collision domains is entirely up to the ISP. If you get lucky maybe the wifi name is "Jones family 123 main st" or something to connect the IP to a person. Source: over 1 year ago

• Response from Server

  Is this a localhost api or remote? You could test using this or this to see if the network is the problem. You can test the database from the command line as well. Source: over 1 year ago

• Anyone else using unifi to track the isp outages?

  I'd recommend setting up SmokePing or Vaping to get a better idea of latency and connectivity. Source: 12 months ago

• N-Central, Connectivity Service and 15 minute minimums, oh my!

  Let me introduce you to a rather old, but still highly useful, tool for free. Takes a little leg work to get going, but pays off in style. https://oss.oetiker.ch/smokeping/. Source: about 1 year ago

• Is there any way to fix packet loss!?

  So I would run Smoke Ping (https://oss.oetiker.ch/smokeping/) for a while to get an idea of the loss. If it really is an external issue, you can try a VPN to hopefully pickup a different route. Source: about 1 year ago

• lightweight monitoring tool

  I personally like smokeping, https://oss.oetiker.ch/smokeping/ . Has lots of different probes so you can do more than just "ping if it is alive". Source: about 1 year ago

• Cox Monitoring -- something changed around 9:30 last night

  I previously made a post asking for some ping results for various people in the area. Thank you to everyone who replied. Some of the comments encouraged me to set up a more proper monitoring system for keeping track of latencies to various servers, and to consider more than just ICMP ping as said packets are likely deprioritized. I set up an instance of SmokePing and have it monitoring a number of services, as... Source: about 1 year ago
