Snooping Ping

Today I needed to check what devices are being pinged so I ran snoop icmp on the Solaris box in question and downloaded the snoop file to my pc for analysis with Etereal.

The following command extracts only the ping replies.

tethereal.exe -r "23oct2005.snoop" -t d -R "icmp.type == 0"

I needed to limit it to ICMP type zero as there were also ICMP type 3 "Destination Unreachable" ICMP packets mixed in from failed SNMP queries.
