what does this code do?
- by bstullkid
It looks like this just sends a ping, but whats the point of that when you can just use ping?
int main (int argc, char *argv[])
{
unsigned int pid = 0;
char buffer[2];
char *args[] = {
"/bin/ping",
"-c",
"5",
NULL,
NULL
};
if (argc != 2)
return 0;
args[3] = strdup(argv[1]);
for (;;)
{
gets(buffer); /* FTW */
if (buffer[0] == 0x6e)
break;
switch (pid = fork())
{
case -1:
printf("Error Forking\n");
exit(255);
case 0:
execvp(args[0], args);
exit(1);
default:
break;
}
}
return 255;
}
