fjorker(8)                                                           fjorker(8)

NAME
     fjorker - minimalistic ICMP echo request/reply implementation

SYNOPSIS
     fjorker host
     fjorker --version

DESCRIPTION
     fjorker is a secure-by-default ICMP echo request/reply implementation
     that follows OpenBSD's philosophy of minimalism and security.

     Unlike traditional ping implementations, fjorker:
     * Minimizes information disclosure about the source host
     * Uses random identifiers instead of process IDs
     * Validates sequence numbers in responses
     * Has minimal code base for better security

EXAMPLES
     fjorker 1.1.1.1
             Ping 1.1.1.1 using ICMP echo requests

     fjorker --version
             Display version information

EXIT STATUS
     The fjorker utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.

SEE ALSO
     ping(8)

STANDARDS
     The fjorker utility implements ICMP echo request/reply as described in
     RFC 792.

HISTORY
     The fjorker utility first appeared in 2025.
