PingMe

Scan IP addresses and hostnames, identify reachable systems, compare changes between assessments, and generate clean operational reports.

A simple ping answers whether one address responds now. Assessments need more: mixed hostname and IP input, bounded IPv4 and IPv6 discovery, clear failure states, repeatable reports, and a record of what changed between runs.

PingMe turns raw reachability checks into an assessment-ready inventory that separates reachable, silent, unresolved, and failed probes.

Features

Mixed target input: Accept CIDR ranges, individual IPs, hostnames, and target files with duplicate removal.
IPv4 and IPv6: Discover both address families with safe CIDR expansion limits.
ICMP and TCP fallback: Use system ping or fping, with optional TCP reachability for filtered environments.
Change tracking: Compare snapshots and identify newly online or newly unreachable systems.
Assessment reports: Write hostname mappings, alive, dead, error, and change reports.
Cross-platform CLI: Installer and shell completion for Zsh, Bash, Fish, and PowerShell.
