A ping program for the Linux Operating  that works faster than the ordinary ping program. 

* This project is based especially on the more common use of the ping program (To check whether there is connectivity rather than calculating the RTT and other parts. Though it gives the TTL.)

* Uses ICMP Echo Request and Echo Reply to check the connectivity.

* Supports IPv4 and IPv6.

* Killer speed with a smallest ICMP Echo Request Packet.

* Aids during Penetration testing , to check whether the host is still up. (Used probably after a complete Network Reconnaissance) 


Installation :

sudo sh install.sh
