hping command problem

evil-monkey · 2008-10-26 16:47:19

in the following command; hping -1 –c 11 –K 1 192.168.1.66, does anyone know what the -K 1 is for?? I think it's setting the icmp code to 1; but what does that mean and why is it being done?? Thanks in advance :D

The ICMP code/type 1 is unassigned so I amn't quite sure:

Edit - Acutally, -C (capital C) would indicate type
