nping
Pack: hackertarget · Endpoint: https://gateway.pipeworx.io/hackertarget/mcp
“Is [host] up” / “ping [X]” / “round-trip time to [address]” — ICMP ping via HackerTarget, reporting reachability and round-trip time from HackerTarget’s probe host. Use for a liveness check when you cannot ping from where you are. A host that blocks ICMP reads as down even when it serves traffic.
