Network Security �Network Hacking � Ping � The IP address gives the Internet address.

Network Security �Network Hacking � Ping � The IP address gives the Internet address. The numerical address like 212. 214. 172. 81 does not reveal much. You can use PING to convert the address into a domain name in WINDOWS: The Domain Name Service (DNS) protocol reveals the matching domain name. PING stands for “Packet Internet Groper” � Ping uses ICMP (Internet Control Messaging Protocol) to determine whether the target host is reachable or not. Ping sends out ICMP Echo packets to the target host, if the target host is alive it would respond back with ICMP Echo reply packets. � Tracert: � Tracert is another interesting tool available to find more interesting information about a remote host. Uses ICMP. Tracert helps you to find out some information about the systems involved in sending data (packets) from source to destination.

IP Telephony � IP telephony is the technologies that use the Internet Protocol's packet-switched connections to exchange voice, fax, video and other forms of information that have traditionally been carried over the dedicated circuit-switched connections of the public switched telephone network (PSTN). Vo. IP refers to a way to carry phone calls over an IP data network, whether on the Internet or your own internal network. A primary attraction of Vo. IP is its ability to help reduce expenses because telephone calls travel over the data network rather than the phone company's network.
