An input for delay between packets in milliseconds might be beneficial for Multi-Send mode.

Recently made a commit to build Debian packages. It'd be nice if they were formally released.

Bottleneck is probably individual deletions. A large import probably takes forever too.

The OS prevents Packet Sender from binding to low port numbers. Packet Sender could prompt or mention it needs be re-ran with admin access.

For a network testbed I am building with @dereXeus, we need to test router with multiple clients. I am able to figure out ways to create multiple interface on my PC & spawning a client that uses the interface to connect to the router.

While trying to simulate udp traffic, I came across packetsender. There is no out of the box support to do this. I am happy to work on this & send a pull request if guided appropriately as I am new to socket programming in Qt. Please let me know.

I've run the build script, and everything compiles just fine. Whenever I try to run the executable, it segfaults. Not sure why.

PacketSender-Linux/PacketSender-4.9/src$ ./PacketSender
Segmentation fault

I imagine this is a QT5 issue.

Any suggestions?

1. Increase the resending rates more than once per second would be beneficial for high volume packet testing.
2. Add an option to define total # of repeat, it will be helpful for automated testing. For example, we can set "Resend every 1 sec", and then set "Resend 300 times". So PacketSender will send the packet once per second, and stop sending after 300 packets have been sent.

Hi
I want to run a client which bind to predefined port.I winder if there is a solution to set port in GUI mode.

Thanks in advance

Hi !

It would be nice to be able to specify bytes that should be replaced with a random value in the HEX field.

Example : 00 ab cd ef 10 RR RR cc

Each bytes with a R value could be replaced by a random byte size value.

Mixed mode does not print any output, did i miss something or is it standard behaviour?

Hi
My device sends (*GS06,351535058775057,121402190716,,SYS:G6S;V2.20;V1.0.6,GPS:A;11;S00.000000;E00.000000;0;0;1390;0.85,COT:,ADC:10.14;3.81,DTT:4000;C0;0;0;0;1#)
and the program does not show it
But when my device sends *GS06,351535058775057# it responds and show it on your tool
See attached
i need the tool to show me ALL data that the device sends

Zooming in causes the sidebar to grow and cover the text.

Users have mentioned that the command line launches Packet Sender when it crashes on OS X.

Here is the command:
/Applications/PacketSender.app/Contents/MacOS/PacketSender

SSL branch has been started. It will be support soon.

Good day,

I'm running a socket to which I send a command line but in the end requires the use carriage return, I tried with \ r \ n or chr (13). chr (10). chr (0) and has not been able to send the package the return code.

thanks

Packet Sender could detect/remove/adjust the copy and pasting of hex data in to the hex field.

Examples:

• If user pastes one big hex value, it could divide and insert the spaces to separate the bytes
• If there are commas or other invalid characters, it could strip them out, and then adjust

Good Sir,

Your product is the best on the market, especially when you added persistent sockets... BUT, I would like to be able to recall a history of sent commands when in persistent sockets (same as console in a browser).

Thanks!

in "knowledge of a basic network protocols" the indefinite article is incompatible with the plural ;-)

I wish there were some kind of information provided about building on Windows (how to satisfy the Qt dependency, e.g.)... or did I miss that info somewhere?

Trying to process program console version by windows internal FOR loop (using -w 30000 option), but seems FOR loop eat whole data after program finish. What method did you use to print output? As far as I am not a programmer, there could be at least two methods how to print out console program output: Print whole data after program finish, or print data line-by-line as program generate them.

Writing script to detecting reachable network devices which respond to broadcast and it will be helpfull if I can see rapidly answering devices immediatelly to start working with them, and later respond devices when come back to console window. It will save time...

UDP Server Ports are not saved in the config on OSX El Capitan.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open Packet Sender -> Preferences -> Network
2. Set UDP Server Port from default 55005 to 90 and enable UDP Server if not set
3. Save settings by pressing OK
4. Packet Sender shows "UDP Server Disabled" at the bottom
5. When going back to Preferences it shows Port 55005 again

It would be really useful if there was some way of getting access to the response time from the command line.

It'd be nice if Packet Sender checked for a new version. Maybe not auto-update, but give the option to download.

Hi,
As of now we are sending packets to target with source IP as machine where we run PacketSender. Is there any provision so that we can change source IP address?

I am running the Aug 22 PacketSenderPortable version on a PC running Win XP.
I have a client where the socket connection to PacketSender was established by first sending an UDP message from PacketSender on an agreed upon port.
This client then sends UDP packages every 200 ms back to PacketSender.
Over time, PacketSender will bundle the display of these packages together, so that more and more packages seem to come at the same time.
I had to double-check that with WireShark, which then made it obvious that the packages actually are sent out every 200 ms, but that PacketSender will have increasing problems with showing these.
I don't know if this is a problem related to the PC I am running it on, but I was thinking since WireShark is able to capture the packages in time, why shouldn't PacketSender be able to do the same thing?
I can supply you with corresponding captures if you require.

Best regards,
Bertil Soderberg, Vasteras, Sweden

I would appreciate if you would add a length attribute in (both the send and) the log part of the GUI.
That way it would be easier to be able to verify how many actual characters are being sent and received.

Somehow, I got Packet Sender in to a state where resend does not work...

Hello. I have a question.
The [From IP] is ::ffff:aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd.
What [IP Address] I would input?
Is aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd or ::ffff:aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd?

Thanks.

It does not show version number:

C:\utils\PacketSender>packetsender --version Packet Sender version

Since migrating to the new settings UI, changes to server ports are lost on reopen.

I am looking to use Qlab to control packet sender to send a hex string to control equipment such as projectors to turn on off etc.

I have some apple script that will activate PacketSender but I am struggling to then get a saved packet to send.

Is this possible using apple script?

There is a lack of TLS server/client support, that would be useful when debugging secure network applications.

Packet Sender has the help menu in the middle. Common practice has it on the far right.

Currently PacketSender seems to close the connection from a client (which has opened a persistent TCP connection) as soon as the first message from the client has been received and responded to. Here is a log from my custom client:
[Client] Successfully wrote message Hello Server
[Client] Received Message Hello from PacketSender
[Client] Successfully wrote message some_message
(some_message is not received by PacketSender)
[Client] Successfully end connection received
[Client] Successfully closed connection

(The "Hello from PacketSender" is the response configured using the GUI on PacketSender)

It would be helpful if PacketSender can maintain a persistent TCP connection on the server side and wait for the client to close it. And maybe have a GUI button "Close All Connections" for the TCP port.

It'd be nice if the persistent TCP checkbox could be tied to just client or just server.

The persistent connection UI could use a clear button.

For the UDP and TCP servers, add an option to echo back what was received. The fixed response it supports now is useful sometimes, but echo is more helpful in other cases.

I think I'm misusing the tool, but I'm not sure how.

Say that I start listening to port 8887 with nc:

nc -k -l 8887

If I now send something to that port, nc spits it out:

echo "hello" | nc localhost 8887

On my process listening to 8887, out comes hello.

Using the PacketSender GUI, if I try sending a packet to localhost port 8887, with either UDP or TCP, I don't get anything out of my nc listening on 8887. Am I misunderstanding how nc and PacketSender interact with each other, or am I misusing PacketSender?

Often times, I find myself expanding the TCP persistent window when looking at a lot of data, or wishing to minimize it. There is currently only a close button. Any chance to add in max/min options as well?

Specifying packet delay in milliseconds instead of seconds might be beneficial. Additionally "Delay" as the label for the input field might be more appropriate as "Resend" suggests more the number of packets to be resent (which is not a bad feature to implement as well)

App is unusable without built-in documentation, especially when the website is unusable.

My application involves testing UDP SIP packets on networks which heavily rely on QOS to preserve UDP packets. It would be great if you could mark the packets.

Also, on the smart response it would be useful to be able to specify a delay in milliseconds. This would sort of open up some capacity performance testing by having the two instances reply to each other indefinitely, but not at full throttle.

Lastly, it would be nice if packet data equals could use regex instead of exact-string.

Seems like console version does not wait for answer 5 seconds (-w 5000) and terminate immediatelly. On GUI usage two devices respond, on console only one. Look like program terminate on first packet arrival. Or am I doing something wrong?

All seems ok. Make command runs and PacketSender binary file appears in /src per your bash script.

But when I try to run it gives a cryptic

PacketSender: command not found

but file PacketSender gives

Maybe I have unlinked librarie(s) which is(are) causing the problem per one of the replies?
