In this lesson, we will use the Ping utility to assess organizational security.
► What: Ping is a utility used to test the reachability and responsiveness of a network host or IP address.
► Who: Network administrators and computer users.
► When: Ping can be used at any time when network connectivity needs to be tested or diagnosed.
► Where: Ping can be used on any computer or device connected to a network, whether it's a local area network (LAN) or the internet.
► Why: Ping is used to troubleshoot network connectivity issues, determine network latency or delay, identify packet loss, and verify if a host or IP address is reachable.
► How: Ping works by sending ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol) Echo Request messages to the target host or IP address and waiting for ICMP Echo Reply messages in return. The round-trip time and any packet loss are measured and displayed as results.
