What a great time, I've been so annoyed by one thing lately, and that's trying to figure out how to scan proxy IPs on my Linux system, i.e. how to scan IP segments. Alas, if not for this need, I would not have begun to study this thing. But after all, it is the world of computers, there are always a variety of needs exist, but also have to go forward.

How to scan proxy IP for Linux

First of all, you have to have a nice tool first, so that you can get twice the result with half the effort. People who do technology know that nmap is a very powerful network scanning tool, which can scan IP segments and also certain ports. It can help us discover the hosts on the network, as well as open ports, it's really a good helper.

Code Example:
"`bash
# Command to scan the entire Class C IP segment
nmap 192.168.1.0/24
“`

Using the nmap command, we can scan the entire Class C IP segment at once, so that we can quickly find the proxy IP needed. this is very convenient, no longer need to manually enter the IP address one by one, which saves time and effort.

Linux Scanning IP Segments

Of course, sometimes we need to scan a larger range of IP addresses, such as the entire Class B IP segment. At this time, we can use the for loop combined with the nmap command to achieve batch scanning. This is like digging for treasure in a large field, every digging may find a treasure, exciting and interesting.

Code Example:
"`bash
# Command to scan the entire Class B IP segment
for i in {0..255}; do nmap 192.168.$i.0/24; done
“`

By utilizing a for loop, we can scan the entire Class B IP segment so that we can get a more comprehensive proxy IP. This also reminds me of catching robins in the field when I was a kid, it was so exciting and fun not knowing if there would be a big catch with every dig.

Anyway, it was quite a headache at first, but by using the nmap tool and some tips, I finally solved the problem. Sometimes life is like this, difficulties will always exist, but with enough patience and wisdom, you can overcome all difficulties. Just like digging for treasure, every effort has the potential to gain unexpected surprises. I hope you can also find the proxy IP you want on your own Linux system, cheers!
