.sheep is an extremely fast bash script to perform ping sweep of a 24 bit masked sub-net

.sheep

.sheep is a simple bash script to perform multithreaded ping sweep of a 24 bit masked subnet

Why .sheep

nmap is widely tool but unfortunately is takes arround 24-25 seconds to perform a ping_sweep of a /24 subnet whereas .sheep can ping_sweep the same network in approximately 2 seconds and it also saves the alive hosts in a text file in "order" which you can feed to nmap for port scanning

Compared

@Nmap {takes arround 24 seconds} {even parallelism options won't help}

@.sheep
