1. If you already understand about basic FOR looping in programming, I believe this tips and trick should be easy for you
.
Open your command prompt (Windows keyboard + R and type cmd).
2. Firstly, the most important one is reading the manual. We can see the help by typing help for to view the manuals.
3. My computer was resides on 192.168.8.0/24 network. We will try to scan the live IP address on this network using command prompt FOR looping. Here is my command
for /L %h IN (87,1,99) DO ping 192.168.8.%h -l 1 -n 1
Information:
for /L %h –> perform a command for a range of numbers where %h is the variable
IN (87, 1, 99) –> start looping from 87 with step amount 1 until 99
DO ping 192.168.8.%h -l 1 -n 1 –> do the ping to specified IP address. We only send 1 byte buffer size(-l 1) and 1 times echo request(-n 1).
Here is the result (I snip some information and show some live IP address).
Conclusion:
1. This method will work if the target IP not blocking the ICMP request.
2. To save the result to .txt file you can add >> result.txt
3. For more advanced data extraction, maybe we will cover it on another tips and trick.
