Again I give you this tutorial on scanning Pubz.
This is nothing more the basic stuff, if you need more advanced info contact me.

Grim's Ping - The only scanning program I've ever used...

Picking an IP Range
OK... there are many ways to go about doing this... I will cover a few in here. The worst thing you can do is just punch in random ip's, this will in general give you no results. I suggest reading through the first method before reading any others because it has some basic skills that may be needed elsewhere. Also in the other methods I may refer back to the first method for things that are already explained.
The first method involves searching for web hosts and then scanning their ranges, usually this gets results but sometimes they are all being use already. First go to HotSpot which is a web host search engine. Now click the "View all hosts" which is next to the navigation bar on the main page. From here go to random pages until you find a web host that looks nice and big and fast. Really there is no way to tell, but I usually look for hosts offering unlimited bandwidth and lots of space. Once you find one click on it's name and you will go to a page with more info about them. Then right click on the link right under the hosts name and select "Copy Shortcut" which puts their webpage on the clipboard. Now switch over to Ping and select Tools -> Single Host Lookup (or simply press F9). Paste the URL in here but either pressing CTRL-V or right clicking and selecting paste, then press lookup. A Dialog box will popup which shows the IP and the Hostname. When you click on OK your pasted URL is replaced by the IP it found. Select this and Copy it by pressing CTRL-C or right clicking and hitting copy. Now press close and go to the next section to scan the IP you found.
The second method is along the lines of random ip's but more controlled. When you get good at it this is a great method for finding unclaimed pubs. First go to the IP Address Index (check my links section for mirrors) and just check out the main page for a minute. Most Pubs are going to be found in the Class C Range (Click Class C), specifically in 204, 205, 206, 207, 208, 209, 216. These are listed as various US/Canadian Networks and if you click on the link it gives you more details about each range. Pubs are also commonly found in The Class A Range (go to Class A), mostly in 63-66 which is InterNIC Registration. OK go back to the Class C section and click on one of the ranges I talked about above. Here you can just scroll and look for a company that looks like it might have a lot of FTP's and that's it. Just copy their start range to the clipboard and move onto the next section.
My third method is just a combination of methods one and two. First you find an IP using method one then go to the IP Address Index and find it. From there you can see who owns that range and who owns everything around it. If it looks good you can scan that ip and all it's surroundings. Once you find something suitable copy the IP to the clipboard and move to the next section.
Scan Away
First we have to get our IP into the queue so hit the "Paste IP" button on the top toolbar. Paste your new found IP in here and hit OK. To do a good scan you usually want to scan the whole range so edit the third box and make it a "0" like in the picture. I also found out you can use wildcards to paste an IP, so you can replace the third box with a * and skip the "Add Multiple Ranges" step. Now make sure that "PubFind" is selected and then press "Add to Queue" which will add that small IP range to the queue. Now press "Add Multiple Ranges" and enter in 255 and press OK. This will take a minute to complete and it will add that full range to the queue. OK this should be enough to work with for now so close that box, get ready, and hit the Go button on the toolbar (Stoplight Picture). Watch Ping scan away, it shows various information on the bottom like how many servers found and everything like that. You can view you perms.log and results.log while scanning, the options to do so are located in the File Menu. Here you can also minimize Ping to the system tray and then come back a few hours later to find it done.
