Ping Status Tool

Ping Status Tool is a simple but effective Python script that allows you to quickly check the status of multiple IP addresses from a file. It displays the "UP" and "DOWN" hosts in a colorful, well-structured table, with a progress bar showing the ping advancement.

Features

• 🟢 Displays accessible hosts (UP) in green.
• 🔴 Displays inaccessible hosts (DOWN) in red.
• 🔄 Progress bar showing the status of IP pings.
• 📄 Takes as input a file containing a list of IP addresses to ping.

Installation

1. Clone the project

Start by cloning the GitHub repository to your local machine.

git clone https://github.com/clab60917/ping_status.git
cd ping_status

2. Make the script executable

Before using the tool, you need to make the script executable:

chmod +x ping_status.py

3. Add to your PATH (Optional)

To run the script from anywhere, you can add it to your PATH or move it to /usr/local/bin/:

sudo mv ping_status.py /usr/local/bin/

Usage

The tool is easy to use. It takes a text file as an argument containing the list of IP addresses to ping.

./ping_status.py /path/to/target.txt

Example

If your target.txt file contains the following IP addresses:

192.168.1.1
8.8.8.8
1.1.1.1

Run the following command:

./ping_status.py target.txt

The output will look like this:

Pinging IPs: 100%|██████████████████████████| 3/3 [00:03<00:00, 1.00ip/s]

UP                   | DOWN                 
----------------------------------------
8.8.8.8              | 192.168.1.1
