tcping is a tool used to test the reachability of TCP ports. To install and use tcping on a Linux system, follow these steps:

  1. To begin with, enter the following command in the terminal to install tcping:
sudo apt-get install tcptraceroute
  1. After the installation is complete, you can use the following command to test the reachability of the TCP port:
tcping [hostname] [port]

In this case, [hostname] is the domain name or IP address of the target host, and [port] is the port number to be tested.

For example, you can use the following command to test if the 80 port of www.example.com is reachable:

tcping www.example.com 80
  1. After executing the above command, the following information will be displayed:
Probing 192.168.1.1:80/tcp - Port is open - time=0.012ms

If the port is reachable, it will display “Port is open”; if the port is unreachable, it will display “Port is closed”.

By following the above steps, you can install and use the tcping tool to test the reachability of TCP ports.
