boop is a commandline tool that aims to be a super simple cross between ping and nmap. The tool can quickly probe hosts using ICMP ping packets, and report their status. This probe functionality can be mixed with the program's -n flag to probe an entire subnet for hosts.
To build boop, just use cargo:
sh
sudo apt install liboping-dev
git clone https://github.com/ewpratten/boop.git
cd boop
cargo build
cargo install --path .
Or, to install from crates.io, use:
sh
cargo install boop-ping
```
USAGE:
boop [FLAGS] [OPTIONS]
FLAGS: -h, --help Prints help information -n, --scan-network Scan the entire subnet of the specified host -V, --version Prints version information
OPTIONS:
