A client/server style agent meant for testing connectivity to and from a machine on a network.
Installation
python setup.py install or pip install . should install smith. Note: If you want to use the tcp/udp protocol options, you'll need to install scapy and it's dependencies. Ubuntu has 'apt-get install python-scapy'. You can also pip install scapy, but I don't know if that installs all dependencies on all OS's. I didn't include scapy in the requires because the 'rest' option doesn't utilize it, and is sufficient for a lot of usecases on its own. Functions: ping and listen
ping
$: smith ping -h
usage:
Initiate a port-specific ping against a listening agent
positional arguments:
port The port the remote agent is listening on
destination IPv4 address of the server the remote agent is
listening on

UDP use raw sockets which will bypass IPTABLES rules.
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-t TIMEOUT, --timeout TIMEOUT
Seconds to wait for response from server before giving
up. Zero means 'wait forever'Example
