Akshay07 Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 Hi all, If I know the IP address of a remote machine, can I detect if this machine is pinging me? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PsaltyDS Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 The ICMP echo request packet contains the source IP address. But that is trivial to spoof, so it doesn't prove much if you have reason to suspect any hacking at all. Valuater's AutoIt 1-2-3, Class...

Akshay07 Posted January 14, 2010 Author Share Posted January 14, 2010 Thanks, it is not about hacking at all, I am expecting the remote computer to ping me, and I just want to detect when it happens. How do I use this ICMP echo request? Maybe I am starting in a wrong way. I would like my script to wait for a "signal" for a remote computer before proceeding further. So basically, I would like to get a message from the remote computer that would tell me "go ahead, run the rest of the script". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PsaltyDS Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 Easier to just use the example scripts for TCPSend() and TCPRecv(). Valuater's AutoIt 1-2-3, Class...
