I’ve found first version of the Ping program. Originally written by Mike Muuse in one night. Complete source is available below. It’s codded up in really ancient style (but it’s still C), so I had some troubles in understanding couple of lines. What’s interesting it does not compile on my ubuntu box.

Good news. I’m very happy to announce that Outernet Association has been registered. We have all the important papers and numbers. Now it’s time to make a chart of accounts, do all the PR stuff and start growing!
What’s interesting: first founding gathering was on 11-11-2006, and the official response from governments administration was on 04-04-2007.
How about that?:
[...] with a billion infected hosts each scanning a billion IPv6 addresses per second, it takes more than a hundred million years to scan just the IPv6 address space that’s given out to ISPs right now, which is about 0.01 percent of what’s available.
Nice, huh? I’m stunned by this number, it’s overwhelming. I can’t imagine humankind to use all od IPv6 address space.
BTW, The Number is:
