This is a multi-part message in MIME format. -- This .gz contains a win32 simple ping program which pings as fast as it can, concatenating a timestamp in the form [%H:%M:%S] to the start of the echo response.
This will generate (on a lan) VERY large logs in a very short time (it's pretty damn fast). Over a 100ms latency, you're still looking at around a 2mb log per hour. Adding a small delay to prevent this kind of log flooding is easy, but the next question then is, how long do you want it? If you need a reverse-logging pinger (only logs ICMP echo timeouts), let me know. I've included source code.
