How To Stop or Block The PING response in linux / Ubuntu
Define PING...
Ping is a computer network administration utility used to test the reachability of a host on an Internet Protocol (IP) network and to measure the round-trip time for messages sent from the originating host to a destination computer. The name comes from active sonar
terminology which sends a pulse of sound and listens for the echo to
detect objects underwater. With computer operating systems Ping or PING
stands for Packet INternet Groper but is ordinarily written as "ping"
instead of the proper acronym for which it stands.--- Wikipedia
