Operating Systems BSD Ping remote sever, nc, telnet, whatever Post 302964035 by Peasant on Saturday 9th of January 2016 04:55:52 AM

Ping against server will work if firewall allows ICMP probes.

If a server service is listening on port N, a simple telnet IP port will tell you that.
Something like :
Code:
:~$ telnet www.unix.com 80
Trying 4.59.125.171...
Connected to www.unix.com.
Escape character is '^]'.

This tells me that 4.59.125.171 has a port 80 open are receiving requests.

For further (security Smilie) analysis nmap is the best tool.
Port Scanning is Not a Crime but acting on its results can be, especially on government and financial sites.

Peasant.

infon - Program bugs to compete for food and survival SYNOPSIS
infon [-r <renderer>] [-f] [-x <width>] [-y <height>] [-v] [-h] <server[:port]> DESCRIPTION
infon is the graphical viewers for the infon game. Infon is a game which simulates the live of simple bugs who eat, propagate, eat each other and evolve. The players can not control the bugs directly but write their "intelligence" in the simple script language lua and upload it to the game using a plain telnet connection. The code can then be modified even while the game is running. You have to specify the hostname of the server to connect to on the command line. OPTIONS
-r <renderer> Renderer to use (sdl_gui,...) -x <width> Initial screen width -h <height> Initial screen height -f Start in fullscreen mode -v Display version information -h This help server[:port] The server (and port) to connect to. If no port is given, 1234 is used. SEE ALSO
