icmptx(1)

✨ NAME ✨

okay so bestie, pull up a chair 💖 this is the icmptx(1) page, straight out of the General Commands Manual, and it's about one thing and one thing only:

icmptx — Tunnel IP over ICMP. that's it. that's the whole vibe. 👑

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

like here's how you actually run it, no cap:

icmptx [ -s | -c ] server

you pick a mode (-s or -c, not both, the brackets are giving "choose one" energy) and then you hand it a server. that's the whole command. slay. 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so icmptx lets you pass IP packets via ICMP. literally that's what it does, that's the whole thing. ✨

now picture this, bestie: you're sitting in a cafe ☕ and you wanna use the wireless network, but — tragic — it costs money. 😭 rude. disrespectful even. BUT. if that network allows ICMP traffic (i.e. you can ping machines on the Internet), then icmptx is your friend. 🫶 not just a friend, like, your bestie who shows up at 3am with snacks. if you can ping, you can tunnel. iykyk. 🌈

💅 OPTIONS 💅

okay here's the menu, gorgeous, every single one of them:

• -s — server mode 👑 you're the one hosting the whole situation
• -c — client mode 🧚 you're the one connecting in
• server — the host name or IP address of the server 🌸 like, the actual address of the machine you're talking to

not me reminding you that -s and -c are the two modes and you only pick one, because the synopsis said [ -s | -c ] and that pipe is NOT decorative, bestie. 💀
