There is no minimum quality requirement for an open-source release :)

haha, there is if I ever want to get another programming job! It's bad, trust me. The ping function is just a retouched version of Go's icmp test: https://github.com/golang/go/blob/master/src/net/ipraw_test....

I wouldn't worry too much about it. Everybody writes horrible duct-tape code at some point, and showing how you improved/refactored the code is a much nicer thing than showing how you supposedly magically got it right the first time :)

I would also like to see it open. I'd love to host something like this for my own networks which are not internet reachable.

Who cares just open source it. People who are interested might even send you some pull requests

Perfect! Good luck with your project. :)

just noticed to "star" typo, now I have to hotfix while in HN's frontpage, great.
