Anyone else notice or have issues where ping.exe on Windows 10/11 behavior appears to be buggy these days. If I ping an address known to be offline. On both Linux and Unix, I correctly get 100% packet loss. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ PING 192.168.0.2 (192.168.0.2) 56(84) bytes of data. From 192.168.0.101 icmp_seq=1 Destination Host Unreachable --- 192.168.0.2 ping statistics --- 1 packets transmitted, 0 received, +1 errors, 100% packet loss, time 0ms On Windows I get an utterly broken 0% packet loss ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Pinging 192.168.0.2 with 32 bytes of data: Reply from 192.168.0.100: Destination host unreachable. Ping statistics for 192.168.0.2: Packets: Sent = 1, Received = 1, Lost = 0 (0% loss), The impact is that you then can't accurately measure the commands exitstatus/errorlevel when used in a script. #infosec #Windows10 #Windows11 #networking #Linux
