But this user plans to leave ping running all the time to check that their own Internet connection is working.

Either way, at any given time there’s tons of traffic leaving your network, it just means that software is active, not that a human is active. On top of that, Cloudflare probably isn’t selling the fact that an ICMP ping was received at their DNS server directly to spammers quickly enough for them to act and put an email at the top of your inbox, assuming that spam isn’t caught by a spam filter first.

If the other traffic is already correlated to your IP, then what additional info does an ICMP echo leak?

ICMP doesn’t reveal any personal details. As opposed to say when you visit with the web browser where you can be fingerprinted, and perhaps have that tied to the rest of your browsing history or real world identity.

BOFH: hooked up the mains to the doorknob and asked a luser to bring their laptop over for personal attention and repair.

dmesg | less should allow you to scroll the output. You should use forward slash in less to search for the devices (hit enter), see if the modules are being loaded or if there some errors.

check lsmod before and after see what kernel modules are changing.

also look at dmesg for interesting kernel messages as you attempt to use / not use the offending hardware.

tcpdump, wireshark can capture packets.

haproxy can be a proxy of many networking protocols

mitmproxy can help see encrypted traffic by acting as a literal man in the middle.

ssh with certain parameters can become a SOCKS5 proxy to encrypt and tunnel traffic out of a hostile network

they can steal your fucking house if you don’t follow their rules

Let’s say there is a user lmicroservice. I’m on a UI team. I don’t get to tell the user service team what, or when, to implement any features.

I’m tasked with making a page displaying all the users who have a birthday this month.

User API service can only search by user id, email, display name, or nickname.

Now instead of just querying the goddamn database, a one line fucking SQL statement, I have to deal with the user team, getting them to first off even admit that my use case is valid, convince them to work on the feature, coordinate with them to make sure the query works, sorts the data the way I need, etc, et. al, blah blah blah.

They already have the next 3 sprints full so I’m sitting on my ass for the next month before I can test.

Meanwhile they decide they’re gonna implement a super generic thing, and so despite me working on code that we talked about using an interface we talked about, they implement something else so i have to throw out half my work anyway.

Then when I finally start using it I find, oh, it doesn’t support a sort, only returns 100 results max with no pagination, so if there’s 200 this month with a birthday fuck the 2nd hundred they don’t show up because they’re implementing bare minimum and the rest is slated for another sprint.

And it was then, your Honor, I grabbed the lead dev for the user microservice and tossed him off the 9th story of the building.

You can’t do that, you’re committing copyright infringement! Change gameto mygame though, and you’re golden.
