Comments on: Increase your Ping-Fu! http://blog.superuser.com/2012/10/15/increase-your-ping-fu/ The Super User Community Blog Mon, 05 Dec 2016 07:34:06 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=4.5.6 By: syss http://blog.superuser.com/2012/10/15/increase-your-ping-fu/#comment-210863 Tue, 16 Apr 2013 09:46:08 +0000 http://blog.superuser.com/?p=5186#comment-210863 I also have found this very interesting thing someday.

One thing should also be mentioned: If you try to ping an “ip” like this: 010.010.010.090 it resolves in a hostname on windows and unix. this is because the 0 at 090 normally indicates an octal number, but the digit 8 and 9 are not in the set of octal numbers anymore. So it is simply interpreted as the host 010 of subdomain 010 of domain 010 of tld 090.

on windows you can also do some very weird pings

ping ^0^x^A.^0^1^0^0.^0^0.^5^0

the caret is the escape character but in this case it does not escape anything because the following characters are not escapeable.
