Ping

This handler sends one ICMP echo request to the specified host and reports an error if it is unsuccessful.

Note that this may require some sort of elevated privilege to be able to run. For example, on Linux, it needs either to be run as root (not recommended), or to have the CAP_NET_RAW capability.

To set CAP_NET_RAW, you can execute the following command on Defcon's binary:

setcap cap_net_raw+ep defcon
