I wanted a tool to quickly get all the IP's that were up and had hostnames to find my Raspberry Pi's on a network. I used namp, but while effective, I wanted something simpler. So I created ipscan. ipscan is a simple tool to scan something (e.g. 10.0.0.1/24) for devices. By default, it scans 192.168.1.0/24.
Run the commands below to download and setup. If you want to scan different hosts (default is 192.168.1.0/24), change the HOSTS_TO_SCAN variable in ipscan. For a custom DNS server, change DNS_SERVER in ipscan. If DNS_SERVER is None, the default will be assumed.
$ git clone https://github.com/CoconutMacaroon/ipscan.git

The one-liner to run it with no options is curl -sL https://bit.ly/coconutmacaroon-ipscan | bash. This doesn't support arguments to the script. For that, simply curl -L https://bit.ly/coconutmacaroon-ipscan -o ipscan.sh, add execute privledgee (chmod +x ipscan.sh), and run it (./ipscan.sh [OPTIONS]).
