I enhanced my command line ip scanner by adding a Tk gui and adding a few more features.  Above, I am scanning a range of contiguous addresses on my home network.

It can also accept a list of hosts from a csv file.

Here are the results from the scan of the above list.

I am forced against my will to use Windows 10 on my PC at work.  I also lack admin privileges, so I cannot install a free ip scanner application.  I do, however, have ActivePerl installed on my box, and it has tons of modules so I can write my own utilities.

I have several classes of ip devices (routers, switches, battery chargers, etc.) that I want to monitor and have created individual csv files for each.  This simple script is highly effective at discovering devices on a subnet, or to give a quick glance at what devices on a list are online.

This is one of those utilities of mine that will probably continue to grow in complexity.
