Network Tools Library vs Nock Nock
Side-by-side comparison of two open source alternatives
Network Tools Library
This is a sample application from the open source project Android Network Tools. If you are looking for a more complete network scanning tool, please see my other app Portdroid. It demonstrates the following features of the library: • Pinging • Port Scanning • Finding devices on your network • Wake-on-lan The project is hosted on github. Bug reports, feature requests and contributions are all welcome: https://github.com/stealthcopter/AndroidNetworkTools
Nock Nock
The app will automatically knock on the door of your websites (or web servers) on a chosen interval to make sure they are up and responding successfully. If something is wrong, you get a notification telling you so. How does it check if your server is up? An HTTP GET request is made, the response code is checked. Nock Nock can also do custom validation on the response, by searching for a term, or even by executing a custom block of JavaScript.
