Hi all.
Can anyone recommend a modern alternative to "namebench <https://code.google.com/archive/p/namebench/>"?
Looks like it got forked to this project, and the Go port was updated to at least replicated the original Python 2 functions: mrwiora/NAMEinator: NAMEinator DNS Benchmark tool (namebench successor) — https://github.com/mrwiora/NAMEinator Note that even it has hit some bitrot with the build instructions. 'go get' isn't a thing anymore, seemingly (hey, why keep something so obvious and useful?), so the build process is now described here: https://github.com/mrwiora/NAMEinator/issues/46#issuecomment-789247422 You might want to substitute $GOPATH/src/github.com/mwiora for the various paths in that description. Also, it seems to require go >= 1.16.1, which is newer than Debian stable. I tried to build it on a Raspberry Pi and it all went very pear-shaped. go's build errors are not very compelling: who knew that the quiet response "package embed is not in GOROOT" was a total build failure? The results are terse, but possibly useful to someone: ./NAMEinator starting NAMEinator - version custom understood the following configuration: {numberOfDomains:100 debug:false contest:true nameserver:} ------------- NOTE: as this is an alpha - we rely on feedback - please report bugs and feature requests to https://github.com/mwiora/NAMEinator/issues and provide this output OS: linux ARCH: amd64 ------------- trying to load nameservers from nameserver-globals trying to load domains from alexa-top-2000-domains LETS GO 900 / 900 [------------------------------------------------] 100.00% 9 p/s 1m43s finished - presenting results: 1.1.1.1: Avg.
