From what I learn last week, ping sweep is basically a technique to find out which hosts are up in a network according to the range of IP addresses that I have set by pinging an entire range of network IP addresses . In this case, I am looking for the active hosts in the range of 125.161.187.1-35.
First I am using Nmap scanning tool to determine which host is up from the range that I have chosen.
nmap -sP 125.161.187.1-35
In the picture above, it shows 35 active hosts from the range 125.161.187.1-35. After that, I am trying to use fping to test whether the results are the same or not.
fping -g 125.161.187.1 125.161.187.35
The results from both tools are same, which is means that we can use any of those tools to determine which host in up in the given range.
