Default Disable Ping

Well known internet tool to check if a machine is running is PING. Many users wants to disable PING to avoid detection or to keep away from Hackers.

You can use following command to disable PING:

echo "1" >> /proc/sys/net/ipv4/icmp_echo_ignore_all

The following command we enable PING for you:

echo "0" >> /proc/sys/net/ipv4/icmp_echo_ignore_all
