actually, i don't know much about computers either, but blink and ping don't sound much like computer things to me....maybe they stand for something?

I did some Googling. It appears that it is a way to capture an IP and ping (find out who a person is) even on an anonymous site or posting. And I THink it is bink and ping. I think it means getting through a firewall or whatever and then locating who someone is, even where anonimity is guaranteed. U think it can get through all kinds of protective devices.

I would love to hear more from others. I know people here know wha this is and I am really curious. I belive this is used often by government intelligence.

On a board like Zaba Message, is it really possible to determin the poster of an anonymous message by their message tags?

Would someone please tell me where a good place would be online to post this kind of question? Thanks

LOL!!! I KNOW WHAT PINGING IS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Blink, I don't know, but ping is a command in command prompt! You just type ping (enter IP address or website) and you ping! Blink I believe is similar, but because I don't know this command, I won't attempt it! I also like messing with nslookup it tells you what IP addresses you're going through to get somewhere. If you don't know what a command does in the command prompt, then don't mess with it!

From what I found, blink is actually an HTML command.
