PingChecker is a Python-based instrument that can help you ping multiple hostnames or IP addresses for the purpose of determining patterns.
It takes targets from the user, stores them in a file, then pings those targets, exports the results to a text file and displays it to the user so they can save it somewhere else.
Here are some key features of "PingChecker":
· Ping multiple machines by either hostname or IP address
· Use the same executable file on Windows or Linux
· Customize the script to suit your needs, such as taking a list exported from Active Directory and using that as input
· Save the results in a text file to help you determine patterns
Requirements:
· Python
What's New in This Release: [ read full changelog ]
· Added first line to specify the python environment for Linux/Unit systems,
· so the file can be executed directly without specifying python yourself.
· Updated print statements to include parenthesis so users that happen
· to only have python 3 installed should be able to run the script without problems.
· Cleaned up a lot of the print statements to reduce file size.
· Changed Linux text viewer to "sensible-editor" instead of gedit specifically,
· that way if the user happens to be using KDE instead of Gnome, the text will
· still be displayed in the terminal for them to copy and paste into the editor
· of their choosing.
· Fixed "exit" command at the end of the file, I accidentally left out the parenthesis.
