Jamon,
I am assuming that someone will use ping to search a network for
interesting stuff. If the IP address does not respond to ping, the cracker
will keep searching. All the other ports are closed too. The security is not
perfect, but I am hoping to have escalated things beyond the capabilities of
some script kiddies.
Closing the ports is sufficient.
I know someone is at 1234 Bloor St. but that does not help much with
breaking in.
I still need a way to get past the front door.

I am playing with my hack Ubuntu machine, and I am sorting out
security. I want to disable ping. This is a laptop, and I want to
document the application of aluminium foil.
Could you elaborate a bit about how disabling ICMP enhances security of
this system? I'm curious what kind of information you're trying to
control with it off.
Cheers, Jamon
