Writing a bash script in BackTrack3 for IP Addresses

RexRogan · 12-07-2009, 07:59 PM

I was assigned to write a bash script in backtrack which will reveal the active IP Addresses on a /30 network.

Normally I would not have a problem with this, but I just dont understand because would you not need the entire prefix (ex: 192.168.1) in order to ping sweep for a certain IP range?

basically what I'm asking is...

How do I nmap a list of IP's for a "/30 network" as that's all that we're given.

Sorry, you'll have to forgive me. I'm brand new to both LQ and Linux in general.

Did you mean main page? I went there and couldn't find any information in the FAQ. And I did a search for "30 network" and couldnt find any relevant information.

Do you have anything else that could assist?

no, the man page. type man nmap on the command line.
