Cropped image

I cropped the screenshot to remove the white border around the image. Here is the updated image: https://i.ibb.co/6vzDTnT/Cmd-ping.png Not sure how to replace images on Wiki articles, so putting this out there for other, more experienced users. 199.255.1.20 (talk) 03:03, 5 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Thanks. Ghettoblaster (talk) 20:42, 5 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Move book?

I don't think the comment about the childrens book supplies any information to the wiki besides the fact that the book exists. Could we move this information to a seperate page? Hopefully then at least it might be developed beyond the stubby link. Is Ping (Literature) accepatable? MB 21:23 16 May 2003 (UTC)

When we have any info, it can be put at The Story of Ping - but we should have a link from here to there so anyone coming here in search of info about the book can be directed there. Or so I feel. Martin

Clarify the security/denial section

All modern operating systems are resilient against ping flood attacks. The sentience already says "...has been considered as a security risk.." and I think it's worth beginning this section by noting that this is a mostly historical issue TmuSrnn (talk) 21:08, 3 Jan 2016 (UTC)

Title

Not sure if the "ping" in the title is meant to be lowercase or not, so I'm just bringing this up if there's anyone who knows for sure and will fix it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Shradibop (talk • contribs) 15:25, 19 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
