README
phpNet - [DEPRECATED] - Use coreNet instead
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.
