+# IPT (IP Test) - Connection Tester
+
+IPT (IP Tester) is a Go language application designed to test TCP connections to specified IP addresses and ports. It provides easy-to-interpret, color-coded output to quickly distinguish between successful and failed connections.
+
+## Features
+
+- TCP connection testing to a specified IP address and port.
+- Customizable connection timeout setting.
+- Color-coded output for clear distinction of success (green) and failure (red).
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Go (Golang) version 1.x (if using `go install`).
+- Or, directly use the provided binary for your platform.
+
+## Installation
+
+### Using Precompiled Binary (Recommended)
+
+1.  Download the latest binary for your platform from the Releases page.
+2.  Place the binary in a directory included in your system's PATH (e.g., `/usr/local/bin` on macOS/Linux).
+
+### Using `go install` (For Go Developers)
+
+If you have Go installed and prefer to build from source:
+
+`go install github.com/<your_username>/ipt@latest`
+
+This will install the `ipt` binary in your `$GOPATH/bin` directory.
+
+## Usage
+
+Run the program with the following arguments:
+
+`ipt <ip_address> <port> [<timeout>]`
+
+- `ip_address`: The IP address of the server you want to connect to.
+- `port`: The server's port.
+- `timeout`: Optional connection timeout (default is 5 seconds). Specify the time in a format like '5s' for 5 seconds.
+
+## Examples
+
+- Testing connection to a server on port 80:
+- `ipt 192.168.1.1 80`
+
+- Testing connection to a server on port 443 with a 10-second timeout:
+- `ipt 192.168.1.1 443 10s`
