The protocol specifies that each IP packet must have a header which contains (among other things) the IP address of the sender of the packet. The source IP address is normally the address that the packet was sent from, but the sender's address in the header can be altered, so that to the recipient it appears that the packet came from another ...
PingER, an acronym for Ping End-to-end Reporting, measures round-trip travel time of a packet of data between two nodes on the Internet. The PingER' Project uses a simple tool—the ping command —to get valuable insights into performance of the Internet backbone .
The root nameservers are critical infrastructure components of the Internet, mapping domain names to IP addresses and other resource record (RR) data. Attacks against the root nameservers could, in theory, impact operation of the entire global Domain Name System, and thus all Internet services that use the global DNS, rather than just specific ...
ping is a computer network administration software utility used to test the reachability of a host on an Internet Protocol (IP) network. It is available in a wide range of operating systems – including most embedded network administration software.
A ping of death is a type of attack on a computer system that involves sending a malformed or otherwise malicious ping to a computer. [1] In this attack, a host sends hundreds of ping requests with a packet size that is large or illegal to another host to try to take it offline or to keep it preoccupied responding with ICMP Echo replies.
In computing, a ping sweep is a method that can establish a range of IP addresses which map to live hosts.. The classic tool used for ping sweeps is fping, [1] [2] [3] which traditionally was accompanied by gping to generate the list of hosts for large subnets, [4] although more recent versions of fping include that functionality.

A pastebin or text storage site [1] [2] [3] is a type of online content-hosting service where users can store plain text (e.g. source code snippets for code review via Internet Relay Chat (IRC)). The most famous pastebin is the eponymous pastebin.com .
Doxbin was an onion service in the form of a pastebin used to post or leak (often referred to as doxing) personal data of any person of interest.. Due to the illegal nature of much of the information it published (such as social security numbers, bank routing information, and credit card information, all in plain text), it was one of many sites seized during Operation Onymous, a multinational ...
