PHP Looking Glass

A need came about for a page that could execute commands to reterieve details for: host, ping, traceroute, WHOIS and GeoIP data from one page.

We have written a PHP script to do just that. It is designed to run specifically on Linux and you will encounter errors on Windows, it can be tweaked to run on Windows.

Requirements:

Linux based web server with PHP
GeoIP PHP module for GeoIP lookups
Firewall allowing the following ports outbound: 53 (DNS lookups), 43 (WHOIS), ICMP (Ping & tracert)

You will also need the relevant system commands installed (most likely installed by default on your Linux OS):
host, ping, traceroute, whois and grep

It is all contained within 1 PHP page, but can be seperated out with little tweaking. We are releasing this as open source and you can tweak it and modify it anyway you want to fit it into your sites theme.
