Check ip-range (powershell)

file.ps1

# This script is written on powershell
# Allows you to quickly check the range of ip addresses
# 2 parameters are used
# (threads and address)

# Example: 
#   .\file.ps1 -Address (1..20|%{"192.168.1.$_"}) -threads 5
# Will do a check in 5 threads, from 0 to 20 ip
#
# Example: 
#   .\file.ps1 -Address (1..254|%{"192.168.1.$_"}) -threads 20 | 
#    where {$_.status -eq "success"}

# Example:
#		$IPs = 1..3 | %{$s=$_; 1..254 | %{"192.168.$s.$_"}}
#		.\file.ps1 -Address $Ips -threads 20 | 
#		where {$_.status -eq "success"} | 
#		Select -expandproperty Address
