Answer 1

#!/usr/bin/python3
#pingscanner.py
import sys
from scapy.all import *
inp=""
while not(inp == "SWS" or inp=="DC" or inp== "DM"):
    inp=input("input sws/dc/dm : ")
    inp=inp.upper()

ip=input("Input ip(a.b.c.d) :")

print("pinging the target....")

icmp = IP(dst=ip)/ICMP()
#IP defines the protocol for IP addresses
#dst is the destination IP address
#TCP defines the protocol for the ports
resp = sr1(icmp,timeout=10)
if resp == None:
    print("This host is down")
else:
    print("This host is up")
