pingsweeper 0.1.1

A script for pinging subnets.

PingSweeper

A Python script that runs pings to determine how many hosts are up on a specified subnet. This script will also run a DNS lookup to find host names if they are available.

Installation

Script can be installed using pip install pingsweeper

Requirements

• Python - https://www.python.org

Usage

Running the script:

pingsweeper

To show available arguments:

pingsweeper -h

Example with all available arguments:

pingsweeper -s 192.168.1.0/24 -t 0.5 -c 3

• -s → Specifies the subnet in CIDR notation.
• -t → Sets the timeout per ping (in seconds).
• -c → Specifies the number of packets to send per host.

Once the script completes, the console will print a summary including the number of hosts ping, hosts that responded, and the results of all the hosts that were UP. A text file with the results will be generated at sweep_results/ and opened (assuming the system has a GUI).
