ben

Simple benchmarking using shell

Take a look at YABS too, which we use a lot of code.

Install

  1. Clone the repo or download the zip:
git clone https://github.com/insign/ben.git && cd ben
  1. Mark it as executable
chmod +x ./ben

Soon I'll make it available to run without install

Usage

DNS

Test using the most popular DNS servers (see ipv4.csv)

./ben dns
./ben dns youtube.com
./ben dns wikipedia.org

Disk

./ben disk

CPU / System

./ben cpu

Connection Speed

./ben conn

TO-DO

  • Add CPU, disk and connection benchmarking
    • Verify possible flags to use (using YABS)
    • Add speedtest.net to the connection test
      • Add fast.com (currently I only found using headless chrome)
  • Add IPv6 DNS benchmarking
  • Add colors to output
  • Use a bash framework
    • Catch errors thrown by network failure
  • Manipulate results better. e.g: sort
    • Accept --json parameter to show machine values
  • Save results locally
  • Save results online
    • on public server
    • on private server
    • add privacy terms
  • Create fast install command
  • DNS
    • implement "popular" flags to limit number of popular servers
    • flag to add custom DNS without editing proper file
  • Test DNS ordered by random
  • Add ben to xpm
  • Add auto-update
  • Create a container image to run without install
  • Command to run using curl instead install
  • Unit tests

Privacy & Security

Since there is a lot of connections to make the tests happens, if you care about you privacy, please do not use this tool.

And don't forget to read YABS home too.
