Hi folks,
Using d ping cmnd can v find d destination OS.That means will v able to find which type of OS is running on d destination pc using ping command?
Have you ever thought that maybe, just maybe hck_sec first language is not English? So far, I've found this post of yours the most useless and most offensive here so far and I've been here for years. In fact, if all you want to do is to mock members, you should consider leaving, because we don't need more idiots like you here. Yes, I am calling you an idiot and the mods can be hard on me for saying that. But you will still be the biggest idiot I came across at LQ.org.

I'm bad in grammar
Thanks in advance
I don't think you can find that info with ping, but you can use netcraft to find out which OS any site is running:

If his first language is not English, i'd have presumed that he'd make genuine English spelling mistakes, rather than text abbreviations? I'm not sure I know anyone who has genuinely mistakenly put 'd' when they (presumably) meant 'the'. It's not even phonetic, really.
But I'll try and avoid this in future. Most other forums I use prefer the use of English over abitrary abbreviations. Especially those often read by people for whom English isn't their first language. Apparently, not so on here? Or, at least, not so by yourself.
Look... I am sorry for calling you an idiot. It was uncalled for and I woke up with the wrong foot again. I think you should have stayed away from this thread from the beginning, if all you were going to do was to correct the member's English.
But then again, I should also have left this thread alone when I saw the first reply.
You do, have a point though. Abbreviating English when you can't use it well enough is ratter annoying. In fact, I don't see why peoples should abbreviate at all, unless it is small things like IMHO or LOL (at most).
Anyway, I take it back for calling you an idiot. I am sorry for that and since I called you an idiot in public, I also would like to apologize in public (usually I e-mail members).
I'm not going to belabour this, except to say that whether you disagree with the way a post is typed or with a response received, it is always better to put a mod on the case.
hck_sec:
ping cannot do OS fingerprinting.
I believe the program that you are looking for is called "nmap"
once you install the nmap program (from http://insecure.org/nmap/) use it something like this to find what you are looking for:
nmap -sS -O 127.0.0.1
replace the 127.0.0.1 ip address with whatever ip address you want to find the OS. The O is the uppercase letter O not zero.
