That doesn't stop many burglars or squatters. > If you knock on one of the doors (ping), you > may get an answer, telling you that breaking into that residence at a > later time may be of some value, thus worth more effort. There are other ways to determine if there's a computer or router there. For example traceroute will simply time out if the device doesn't respond, but there is a route to it. If there is no route to it, you get a different error message. That difference will tell you whether there's likely something at that address. --- Talk Mailing List [email protected] https://gtalug.org/mailman/listinfo/talk
