tcping is a command-line tool designed for Windows that allows users to perform TCP pings instead of the traditional ICMP pings. This utility is particularly useful for network diagnostics, enabling users to check the availability of TCP ports on remote hosts. With its capability to output results in various formats including colored text, plain text, JSON, CSV, and sqlite3, tcping caters to different user needs and preferences.

The tool is free to use and is developed in Golang, making it lightweight and efficient. It supports various networking tasks and is suitable for users who require a more granular approach to network latency monitoring. By leveraging TCP instead of ICMP, tcping provides a more accurate representation of network performance in environments where ICMP packets may be blocked.
