Made a CLI tool - pingsweeper

Posted by jzmack@reddit | Python | View on Reddit | 1 comments

Hello all, I've been slowly iterating on this project for close to a year and it feels like it's time to share.

What my project does

It's a way to quickly send pings to every IP address on a network so you can tell which IPs respond to a ping. Results can be output in plain text, CSV, or JSON.

Target Audience

This tool is mainly targeted for Network Engineers and System Administrators, but can be used by anyone for IP address allocation planning and network monitoring.

Comparisons

Similar to nmap but only sends ICMP packets.
