Working of Fishkin’s Yggdrasil nodes pinger requires:
- an operating system of the family GNU/Linux
- Perl
- ping
- which
- wget or curl
- kdig (from the package knot-dnsutils) or dig (from the package bind9-dnsutils)
Working of the programme is successfully tested in the operating systems:
- CentOS Stream release 8 (Linux 4.18, Perl 5.26.3)
- Debian 10 Buster (Linux 4.19, Perl 5.28.1)
- Debian 11 Bullseye (Linux 5.10, Perl 5.32.1)
- Ubuntu 22.04 Jammy Jellyfish (Linux 5.15, Perl 5.34.0)
- Debian 12 Bookworm (Linux 6.1, Perl 5.36.0)
Testing in the operating systems NetBSD 9.3 and OpenBSD 7.3 was not successful; so, Fishkin’s Yggdrasil nodes pinger is not ready for usage in operating systems of the family BSD. The topic of using Fishkin’s Yggdrasil nodes pinger in non-Unix-like operating systems (for example, Microsoft Windows) is not considered at all.
