Java simple Network IP-Adress Scanner

I want to make my own ip scanner, that scans available ips on the local network, like Angry IP Scanner would do it. I also want to get some basic device info, like the hostname. How would I solve that in Java? I don't want to use any libraries to do that. Should I just try to ping every available ip using a loop and see it it answers?

Solution
    1. Get your LAN IP address,
    2. Build IP addresses starting from your LAN IP as 192.168.0.1
    3. Go through all 192.168.0.X (0-255) possibilities.
    4. Ping (Java's isReachable) the possible IP address and print it if it's reachable.
