Port Checker

[artyPD]

What type of request is this?

New tool idea

Clear and concise description of the feature you are proposing

A tool to find out what ports are open for a specified host (IP or domain or FQDN).

Is their example of this tool in the wild?

Port Checker

• Ideally be able to check multiple specified ports like this:

Additional context

Validations

Existing request

A quick search through the issues showed no previous request matching this.

Client side only

I assume this feature would work since the client would be able to connect to the specified host.

Validations

• Check the feature is not already implemented in the project.
• Check that there isn't already an issue that request the same feature to avoid creating a duplicate.
• Check that the feature can be implemented in a client side only app (IT-Tools is client side only, no server).

Hi @artyPD, this is and will never be possible on client side (in browser). This require a server side or a real terminal. So not possible in this project

Hi @sharevb,

Why is that? Is it not possible for the client to make requests to local or remote hosts in the browser?

[sharevb]

Hi @artyPD, javascript ran in browser can only make HTTP(s) requests and due to CORS, to only allowed targets ; or websocket. It cannot ping (ICMP) or connect to any random. Else imagine what hackers could do with anybodies computers.
