trivia question, your a nerd if you know this.

I have no idea

<pre>whew! not a nerd...</pre><p>

no idea please enlighten us.

A window ping!

hi hi ! me neither not nerd !

the SEX man

Buddha, Mahomet, Jesus and Confucius! They once cared for us, perhaps they still do!

so far svol is the closest. the correct answer is 32 bytes of something, to win you must tell me what that something is. ill give you a hint, every one knows it (i would hope). come on people, i know im not the nerdiest guy that hangs out in this forumn, please?

i went to the tomshardware forums and all i got was this lousy signature.

What alphabet is used?

All errors are undocumented features waiting to be discovered.

61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 6A 6B 6C 6D 6E 6F 70 71 72 73 74 75 76 77 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69

Hum, seems to be increasing. Ends in 69 so that’s cool. "i" was born in 1969. It seems to have 23 distinct entries. Give us a hint please. I want to be a nerd...

more detailed than that, ok, im done waiting. the part of a ping packet that makes up 32 bytes, or however many bytes you tell it to send, is made up of the alphabet! 32 letersfrom the alphabet, when it gets to the end it starts over again at a, then keeps on going. oh yea, and for some reason xyz is not included. so a 32 byte ping packet has this info in the data section, making it 32 bytes:
abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwabcdefghi
a 64 byte ping packet has this:
abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwabcdefghiabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwabcdefghi
and so on. just a little bit of trivia i found when i was playing with network monitor captureing frames.

lol, not a hacker, just curious and cisco certified. hehehe

i went to the tomshardware forums and all i got was this lousy signature.

no, that would make me a cracker, i didnt get access to anything. and i wouldnt say i cracked anything either. its a program built into windows 2000, i didnt do anything that was out of the limits of the program.

I hope that post was a cut and paste.

I could eat a meal and drink a quart of beer before you finished typing that post.
