Re: FreeBSD Security Advisory FreeBSD-SA-22:15.ping

Generally, that ping has no end-to-end security (neither
does TLS if relying solely on the silly CA model), and that TLA's
[and Tier-n ISP's, VPN's, Tor's, WiFi's, etc] can all MITM at will,
and that everyone is a target of some one/entity these days... then
this is bad. Which if it applies to Micro$haft Crapple Phones
would be even more a convenient gift to various actors.

Perhaps the real question is...
Why is ping, repeatedly over history, like sendwhale,
still being written such that it remains exploitable...
