How do I ping the hell out of someone?

[RU482]

I just happened to glance under the view tab in IE at "privacy report". It seems a certain IP address has been trying like hell to get a cookie on my machine, and I would like to return the favor. IS there anything fun I can do?

Get a quality firewall, and then not worry about it.

If you're running a system with real DOS (Win98, ME), this DOS batch file should do an endless loop until you hit [Ctl + Break]:

@ECHO OFF
:START
PING <url>
GOTO START

OK, when I do "ping" @ the command prompt, what switch do I use to make it ping more than the default 4 times?

c:\> ping -n 9999999999999 192.168.1.1

that would be "ping url -t" you can type "ping /?" for more options.

 

[Harvey]

PING -n <number of pings> <url>.

When all else fails, RTFM. PING /?.

i guess ping -t would work better.. but is it really a good idea to run it continuously?
