Description
Check connectivity with ping, port scan, and DNS lookup in one fast tool. Use when testing reachability, scanning ports, resolving DNS records quickly.
Usage Guidance
This skill is coherent with its stated purpose, but review the script before running. It runs local networking utilities and performs active probes (port checks and a /24 ping sweep) which can be noisy or trigger IDS/IPS and may be disallowed on some networks — get permission before scanning networks you don't own. Ensure required tools (ping, dig/nslookup, traceroute/tracepath, curl) are available on the host; the registry metadata not listing these could cause runtime errors. If you need to restrict behavior, run the script in a controlled environment or modify it to limit scan ranges and timeouts.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: netping
Version: 3.0.0
The NetPing skill is a standard network diagnostic utility providing functions for pinging, port scanning, DNS lookups, and HTTP checks. The implementation in `scripts/script.sh` follows best practices such as using 'set -euo pipefail' and quoting variables to prevent command injection. There is no evidence of data exfiltration, persistence mechanisms, or malicious prompt injection in `SKILL.md`.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The skill is a network diagnostic tool and the included Bash script implements ping, port checks, traceroute, DNS lookups, latency, HTTP checks, and a ping sweep — this aligns with the name/description. Note: registry metadata earlier lists "Required binaries: none" while SKILL.md and the script require standard network utilities (ping, dig/nslookup, traceroute/tracepath, curl, bash /dev/tcp). That mismatch is an informational inconsistency (might cause runtime failures) but not a security concern.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md and the script limit actions to network diagnostics using local system tools and do not instruct reading unrelated files or exporting environment variables. The script may perform many network probes (port checks, /24 ping sweep), which is expected for this purpose.
Install Mechanism
No install spec or remote downloads are used; the skill ships a local Bash script. Nothing in the package pulls code from external URLs or executes downloaded artifacts.
Credentials
The skill does not request environment variables, credentials, or config paths. All operations use local system utilities and network probes consistent with its stated function.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill does not request always:true, does not alter other skills or system-wide agent settings, and is user-invocable only — no elevated persistence or privilege is requested.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install netping - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/netping - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
