NETWORKING >> Pingplotter without installing any software

As per the title, a collection of methods to plotter a range of pings without going ip by ip.
 

At first, I focused on finding a solution for a bash script to be saved as a .sh file, invoked and parsed a given attribute for the subnet range, but it was too much to remember when I can simply copy/paste a line of a script and modify it on the go as needed.

On Linux for a simple /24:

for octet4 in {1..254} ;do (ping 172.16.20.$octet4 -c 1 -w 5  >/dev/null && echo "172.16.20.$octet4" &) ;done

And if I want to get into /23 or wider subnets... :

for octet3 in {1..254} ;do (for octet4 in {1..254} ;do (ping 192.168.$octet3.$octet4 -c 1 -w 5  >/dev/null && echo "192.168.$octet3.$octet4" &) ;done) ;done

On Windows:

for i in {1..254} ;do (ping 192.168.1.$i -c 1 -w 5  >/dev/null && echo "192.168.1.$i" &) ;done

On Mac:

for i in {1..254} ;do (ping 192.168.1.$i -c 1 -w 5  >/dev/null && echo "192.168.1.$i" &) ;done
