From 4ddbe7f5b7429f6903394f55ce274fa817cfe252 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alexandre Yang Date: Tue, 17 Mar 2026 23:01:17 +0100 Subject: [PATCH 01/63] feat(ping): bootstrap ping builtin implementation From 4a44531948f9294af278ff77849b9d803433e37e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alexandre Yang Date: Tue, 17 Mar 2026 23:17:13 +0100 Subject: [PATCH 02/63] feat(ping): implement ping builtin using pro-bing Adds a ping builtin that sends ICMP echo requests using github.com/prometheus-community/pro-bing. Supports -c (count, max 20), -W (per-reply timeout), -i (interval, min 200ms), -q (quiet), -4/-6 (force address family). Dangerous flags (-f flood, -b broadcast, -s size, -I interface, -p pattern, -R record-route) are rejected. Auto-detects privilege: tries unprivileged UDP-based ICMP first, falls back to raw socket on EPERM/EACCES. Enforces a hard total deadline capped at 120s.

This means subnet-directed broadcast addresses (e.g. 10.0.0.255) were NOT effectively blocked: the first send would get EACCES, pro-bing would call SetBroadcastFlag() and retry, and the ICMP broadcast packet would be sent despite -b being rejected at the flag level. Fix: block any IPv4 address whose last octet is 255, covering both the limited broadcast (255.255.255.255) and all subnet-directed broadcast addresses. A /31 or /32 host address ending in .255 is sacrificed for safety. Also fix P2: increment pkt.Seq+1 so icmp_seq output starts at 1 (POSIX convention) instead of 0 (pro-bing zero value).

This caused the -6 path to call LookupIP(ctx, "ip6", host) which returns []net.IP without zone info, permanently dropping the zone identifier. Fix: add isScopedIPv6Literal() which strips the %zone suffix and parses the base address. Scoped IPv6 literals now take the LookupIPAddr path (like other numeric IPs) which preserves the zone.
