myLG (my Looking Glass) is an open source utility that combines the functions of different network probes into one network diagnostic tool. It comes as a single binary with no dependencies.

During his day job, Mehrdad Arshad Rad, the lead developer or myLG, kept seeing network engineers always using different troubleshooting tools. This often lead to delays when searching for the issues, so he started this open source project as a single tool.

Features:

Popular looking glasses (ping/trace/bgp) like Telia, Level3

More than 200 countries DNS Lookup information

Local fast ping and trace

Packet analyzer – TCP/IP and other packets

Local HTTP/HTTPS ping (GET, POST, HEAD)

RIPE information (ASN, IP/CIDR)

PeeringDB information

Port scanning fast

Network LAN Discovery

Web dashboard

Support vi and emacs mode, almost all basic features

CLI auto complete and history features.

“When it comes to new features, I’d like to enhance IPv6 ability, the packet analyzer and visualizations on the web dashboard. I also plan on adding new commands for finding connectivity and latency issues, as well as a packet generator for testing ACL/firewall/applications,” Rad told Help Net Security.
