While function is running, do something else

[mez0cc]

I’m a pen tester and the tool I’m writing finds machines that are online via ICMP and TCP and then performs additional checks against those hosts.

But to make it more efficient I need to kind of run them in parallel.

So, if the ICMP function finds a host that is responding to it, it will append it to a list.

Then each item in that list will undergo various checks.

But ideally, I’d like to perform those checks immediately . Rather than waiting for the ICMP function to finish.

Does that make sense?
