pingscanner

A quick website I threw together in a couple hours. Scans a subnet for hosts that respond to ICMP pings and plots them on a Hilbert curve. I'm aware that the code isn't great, but it works.

Warning!

Scanning the internet, even just with ICMP pings, can result in abuse reports. Use at your own risk. I recommend pfcloud.io for scanning the internet, they won't give you any hassle about abuse reports. I use pfcloud for hosting my own scanner.

Usage

1. Clone the repo
2. Install requirements with pip install -r requirements.txt
3. Clone ipv4-heatmap into ipv4-heatmap/ with git clone https://github.com/measurement-factory/ipv4-heatmap.git
4. Install masscan and dependencies for ipv4-heatmap with apt install build-essential libgd-dev masscan libpcap0.8
5. Compile ipv4-heatmap with make in the ipv4-heatmap/ directory
6. Copy config.py.example to config.py
7. Edit config.py to your liking. Include your own SQL database credentials and optionally tweak the scanning rate calculation function and/or enter your own listen host/port.
8. Run python3 main.py to start the webserver
