### fping

```
fping -a -g 10.10.23.0/24 2>/dev/null > live_hosts.txt
```

* `-a`: This flag stands for "alive." It filters the output to *only* show you the hosts that respond to the ping request.
* `-g`: This flag stands for "generate." It tells `fping` to generate a list of target IP addresses from a given range.
* `10.10.23.0/24`: This is the target network you are scanning.
  * The `/24` (a CIDR notation) represents a subnet mask of `255.255.255.0`.
  * This tells `fping` to generate and scan all 256 IP addresses in this range, from `10.10.23.0` to `10.10.23.255`.
