About
Simple program to check if IP addresses are active or not using ping command.
How it works
It simply pings a website (of your choice) and depending on the status code returned by the ping command, it determines the status of the website or IP address.
Possible statuses are:
- 0 => Alive
- 1 or 256 => Unreachable
- 2 or 68 => Unknown host
- [Any other code] => Unknown

Installation
On Windows
Open PowerShell with Admin privileges and run this command:
Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned; Invoke-WebRequest https://raw.githubusercontent.com/1ray-1/check-ip/main/insta ll-windows.ps1 -OutFile "$PWD\install-windows.ps1"; .\install-windows.ps1
After that, unless you really need to execute other PowerShell scripts, I recommend disabling script execution for better security
Set-ExecutionPolicy Restricted
On Linux
Open terminal and run this command:
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/1ray-1/check-ip/main/insta ll-linux.sh; chmod +x install-linux.sh; clear; bash install-linux.sh
You'll need to enter your sudo password
In both cases (Linux and Windows), the required executable (for your system architecture) will be installed in a directory that's in your PATH, so you can run it by simply typing check-ip in the terminal or CMD
From releases
You can just download the executable file for your OS here and execute it.
From source
You can download this repo and compile check-ip.c manually (using C compiler).
How to use (from CMD/Terminal)
Usage: check-ip [OPTION] IP_ADDRESSES_TO_CHECK

How to remove
On Windows
Open CMD with admin privileges and type:
del C:\Windows\System32\check-ip.exe
On Linux
Open terminal and type:
sudo rm $(which check-ip)

Note: I'm not a C programmer. The code is simple and could be improved, but it works.
