Tinger

Tinger is a command-line tool that pings all links from a file, checks if they are alive, and logs the live links in a new file. It supports HTTP, HTTPS, and UDP links.

Installation

To run Tinger from source, download it and run dart run tinger <arguments> in the root directory.

You can also download the executable from the releases page and run it directly from the command line.

Note: The EXE file is not signed, so you might get a warning from Windows Defender. Another note: Tinger has no Windows libraries, so it should run on Linux and macOS as well with the EXE build.

Usage

./tinger.exe -p <path> -o <output> [-t <timeout>] [-r <retries>] [-h] (or dart run tinger <arguments> if running from source)

---

-p, --path	Path to file containing links	list.txt
-o, --output	Path to output file	working_links.txt
-t, --timeout	Timeout in seconds	3
-r, --retries	Number of retries	3

Examples

• ./tinger.exe -p trackers.txt -o output.txt -t 1 -r 0
