OSI Model Layer

Shell join list of Hosts with list of Ports

OSI Model Layer

Asked 2021-Apr-15 at 13:05

"Accepting connections" might be far-fetched, the system can be responding to ICMP packets, yet not be capable to do anything else.

It's layer 3, is on the same level as ARP:

QUESTION

Shell join list of Hosts with list of Ports

Asked 2020-Apr-16 at 18:11

I have a List in the format Host:Port. From that List I extract all Hosts to be able to run fping on it. All Hosts that respond are saved to another file with the according response time 99.194.7.13 : 44.60.

How I can make a Linux shell script that joins the resulting Host List with the Ports from the Host:Port file and the response times in the format Host:Port time? Or is there a more efficient way to archieve an online check e.g. with a fping flag that ignores the ports but writes them to a file nevertheless?

I tried with:

Install fping

If you want to install fping from source, proceed as follows:. If you can't run fping as root or can't use the cap_net_raw capability, you can also run fping in unprivileged mode. This works on MacOS and also on Linux, provided that your GID is included in the range defined in /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ping_group_range. This is particularly useful for running fping in rootless / unprivileged containers.
Run ./autogen.sh (only if you got the source from Github).
Run ./configure with the correct arguments. (see: ./configure --help)
Run make; make install.
Make fping either setuid, or, if under Linux: sudo setcap cap_net_raw+ep fping
