not sure what it is supposed to do, but from the ping man page:
-d Set the SO_DEBUG option on the socket being used. Essentially, this socket option is not used by Linux kernel.
The ping -f and -s 65535 options are used to create mischief: ping flooding a host or network. Myke left out an option to make that really work properly and I'd appreciate it if nobody corrects that. No need to make it any easier for the script kiddies.
I admit that I don't know what the toHex(pi(0) is supposed to do. The -d option does not expect an argument, therefore it would be interpreted as the first hop in a source route (literally, since there isn't any interpreter to execute these functions).
One thing is for sure, it generates a lot of packets, therefore myke will be happy :-) |
