Re: pinging

It couldn't be that.... I could ping myself.

(pinging myself)
bmike1@0[bmike1]$ sudo ping  67.219.11.235
PING 67.219.11.235 (67.219.11.235): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 67.219.11.235: icmp_seq=0 ttl=64 time=0.2 ms

bmike1@0[bmike1]$ sudo ping  67.219.58.14
PING 67.219.58.14 (67.219.58.14): 56 data bytes
ping: sendto: Operation not permitted

I just discovered that if I ping an address that isn't real you get the
Operation not permitted response. Maybe senior cracker went offline before I
tried to cause a denial of service. (ping -f)
Or perhaps he masked his real ipaddress.
