ICMP IP Network Scanning / Probing using a Shell Commands

There are several tools that you can use to perform an ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol) IP network scanning or probing using shell commands.

One such tool is ping, which is a utility that sends ICMP echo request packets to a target host and waits for an ICMP echo reply. You can use the ping command to test the connectivity of a host and to determine its responsiveness.

For example, to ping a host with the IP address 10.0.0.1, you can use the following command:

ping 10.0.0.1

You can also use the -c option to specify the number of echo request packets to send. For example, to send 10 echo request packets:

ping -c 10 10.0.0.1

Another tool you can use is nmap, which is a network exploration and security auditing tool that can be used to scan networks and hosts for vulnerabilities. You can use the nmap command to perform various types of scans, including ping scans, which are used to determine the status of a host.

For example, to perform a ping scan of the IP range 10.0.0.0/24, you can use the following command:

nmap -sP 10.0.0.0/24

This will send ICMP echo request packets to all hosts in the specified range and report the status of the hosts that respond.

For more information about using these tools to perform ICMP IP network scanning and probing, you can refer to the documentation or search online for tutorials and examples.
