Task 4

What is the command we can use to send an ICMP echo request to test our connection to the target?

Answer

ping

Explanation

The ping command sends a small packet of data (ICMP echo request) to a specified target (usually an IP address or domain) and waits for a reply. This helps determine if the target is reachable over the network and can also measure the round-trip time for the request.
