Internet & Local Tools Free enables you to find out more about your Internet connection and sites you're connecting to, and provides you with information for troubleshooting connections. It also presents useful information about your phone, mostly not available from the Android menus. Requires rooted device and busybox (see below for full list of requirements).

Ping, Traceroute, Nameserver lookup, Whois, MAC Lookup, Internal/External IP

Network Status, Wifi State, Interface Config, Scan Local Network for connected devices, List All Processes, List Top Processes by CPU usage plus summary information

To enable full functionality, the following requirements must be met:
rooted device (phone/tablet)superuser app installedbusybox app installed (v 1.19.3 recommended)if firewall used (e.g. Droidwall), whitelist this app and "(root) Applications running as root".
It is recommended that the free (ad-supported) version is tried first so any configuration issues can be resolved before purchase.
This app provides a user friendly graphical interface to some of the (normally) command line utilities contained in busybox. Traceroute & Nslookup are only available in some versions of busybox. Version 1.19.3. is recommended, and it can easily be installed using Busybox app by Stericson. If you already have busybox installed, you can check the version and whether it contains Traceroute & Nslookup by starting a shell and typing 'busybox' (without quotes) to get a command listing.
Note that whilst Titanium Backup installs a version of busybox, it is in its own data area. The version of busybox required by this app should be installed in the /system/xbin directory and can be used without interference with the one used by Titanium Backup.
