A ping is a command tool that displays the content in the shell so there is no
way you can stop the tool unless you close the shell window. You can
further check the ping statistics using the following command and can also
be exported into a text file.

ping statistics
With this command, all of the statistics that deals with the domain will be
displayed. In the next section, we will explain about traceroute another
important network tool that can trace where the packet has traveled.
5) Traceroute
Networks are used to send information from one system to another that is
present in the same network or to other systems that are present elsewhere.
However, have you ever wondered how this information will be passed on?
The transportation of the information is done using packets and routers.
Packets are basic traffic that exchanges the information. Traceroute in the
basic idea will inspect these packets and will trace whatever they are doing.
This is an advanced concept that deals with things that networks are ought
to do. Check yourself about the packets that are passing through using the
traceroute command.

With this, we have completed a brief explanation
of the network hacking
tools and in the next chapter, we will have a brief
explanation about hacking
hierarchies.
