What is the behavior you are seeing? (Does it fail because it can't ping the host?) What tool(s) are you using? I would think most scanners would have an option to skip this step (like nmap has -PN) If the tool you are using doesn't have this option, I would consider using a tool where you can craft your packets to slip thorugh the packet filter, like with NMAP, HPING, SCAPY, etc. Also, take into consideration that although they are blocking ICMP echo requests, they may not be blocking echo replys, time-stamp requests, address mask requests, etc. On Sat, Jul 17, 2010 at 6:23 AM, Jacky Jack <jacksonsmth698 () gmail com> wrote:
Hi Some tools/scanners first send ICMP packet before they do their job. So, for some hosts which block such packets, I have no idea on how to use those tools. How can I tweak it so that I can use it? I refer to to the closed-source tools/scanners.
