ICMP ping

Super simple ICMP ping implementation

Prepare environment

  • You can use Python virtualenv
  • Python3.x is needed
  • root rights required (or via sudo)
# install needed packages
$ sudo apt install python3-pip python3-venv
# or
$ sudo pip3 install virtualenv

# create and change into Project directory
$ mkdir -p ~/Projects/ICMP-Ping && cd ~/Projects/ICMP-Ping

# create virtualenv
$ virtualenv -p python3 venv
# or
$ python3 -m venv venv

# activate virtualenv
$ . venv/bin/activate

# install requirements
(venv) $ pip install -r requirements.txt
# or
(venv) $ pip install scapy

# list packages (optional)
(venv) $ pip freeze

# make file executable
(venv) $ chmod u+x ICMPping.py

Run ICMP ping

just run it...

# show help (optional)
(venv) $ sudo venv/bin/python ./ICMPping.py --help

# scan for a specific IP
(venv) $ sudo venv/bin/python ./ICMPping.py en11 172.20.10.1
