This project is a Python script that scans a range of IP addresses within a given network to check their online or offline status using the ping command. The script prompts the user to enter a network address in CIDR format and a range of host IP addresses to scan. It then pings each IP in the specified range and reports whether the host is online or offline.
This Python script is designed to perform a network scan by pinging a specified range of IP addresses within a network. It helps network administrators or users quickly identify which hosts are online or offline. The script uses the subprocess module to execute the ping command and parses the output to determine the status of each IP address.
