Where you from?

whereyoufrom is a small network diagnostic tool that listens for incoming TCP/UDP connections and simply replies by telling them their IP and port.

Installation

The recommended way to install is with cargo from crates.io:

cargo install whereyoufrom

Or directly from GitHub:

cargo install --git https://github.com/ThomasMiz/whereyoufrom.git whereyoufrom

Either one of these will download and compile the tool's code and any dependencies. Once this is done, the executable will become available under the name whereyoufrom.

Downloading binaries

If you don't have cargo installed, pre-compiled binaries are available for x84_64 Windows and Linux in the releases page.

Usage

The tool is very simply and straightforward to use:

Usage: whereyoufrom [options...]
Options:
  -h, --help                      Display this help menu and exit
  -V, --version                   Display the version number and exit
  -v, --verbose                   Display additional information while running
  -s, --silent                    Do not print to stdout
  -t, --listen-tcp                Specify a TCP socket address to listen for incoming clients
  -u, --listen-udp                Specify a UDP socket address to listen for incoming clients

Socket addresses may be specified as an IPv4 or IPv6 address, or a domainname, and may include a
port number. If no port is specified, then the default of 6969 will be used. If no address is
specified for a transport protocol, then [::] and/or 0.0.0.0 will be used. To disable listening on
an protocol, use "-t -" or "-u -".

Examples

Listens on all IPv4 addresses for UDP with port 6969, but only listens on 192.168.1.105:1234 on TCP:

whereyoufrom -t 192.168.1.105:1234

Listens only on IPv4 TCP requests coming from this same machine, default port 6969, no UDP:

whereyoufrom -t 127.0.0.1 -u -
