smith
A client/server style agent meant for testing connectivity to and from a machine on a network.
Installation
python setup.py install or pip install . should install smith. Note: If you want to use the tcp/udp protocol options, you'll need to install scapy and it's dependencies. Ubuntu has 'apt-get install python-scapy'. You can also pip install scapy, but I don't know if that installs all dependencies on all OS's. I didn't include scapy in the requires because the 'rest' option doesn't utilize it, and is sufficient for a lot of usecases on its own.
