conn

the script is actively being rewritten on this branch and might not be on a usable state right now

quick and dirty server availability check

basically just a way too complex wrapper for nmap and fping

features:

• multi-input detection
• ipv4 input detection
• ipv6 input detection
• waiting for availability
• send notification on availability
• updater built in

usage

Usage: conn (options) [ip]
Options:
-m/--multi -- test multiple ips / disable portscan
-h/--help -- show help
-6/--force-ipv6 -- force ipv6 portscanning (also forces portscanning)
-4/--force-ipv4 -- force ipv4 portscanning (also forces portscanning)
-y/--yes -- portscan without asking
-n/--no -- dont portscan
-p/--portscan -- same as -y
-w/--wait -- wait for active connection
-u/--update -- update the script
-f/ --fast -- disable os check
-s/ --simple -- same as -f

installation

1. download the script:
   

wget https://git.byreqz.de/byreqz/conn/raw/branch/main/conn.sh

2. run it with
   bash conn.sh or
   chmod +x conn.sh && ./conn.sh
3. optionally alias it
   alias conn="~/conn.sh"
