What's Ping Sweep?

A ping scan, also called an Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) scan, is a diagnostic technique used in computing to see which range of Internet Protocol (IP) addresses is in use by active hosts, which they are usually computers.
It is usually used to report where active machines are on a network and is sometimes used by a system administrator to diagnose a network problem. Ping scans are also used by computer hackers, those who seek to break into a network, to see which computers are active to know where to focus their attacks.
