Basically its a chrome extension that will check your ping. What we are trying to have happen is for the extension to open up cmd and issue the ping command to a google sever.

  • the value of such an extension is dubious, good luck in writing it, come back and ask when you have a specific issue with code you have written – Jaromanda X Apr 26 '17 at 00:54

I don't think extensions get that level of access to the system, as that would be insecure. Not to mention the absence of "cmd" under *nix and MacOS.

If you are looking for a JavaScript solution, you can try this:

Is it possible to ping a server from Javascript?

You could replicate the behavior of ping in the chrome native client (NaCL) sandbox, by sending ICMP packets over raw sockets, using the nacl_io library.
