Ping and Traceroute are network diagnostic tools that enable system administrators to determine the availability and network routing to hosts across the Internet. These tools can also be used maliciously, to disrupt the normal functions of hosts and networks, and therefore are not appropriate for use on Hushmail servers. Attempts to reach the Hushmail network using ping or traceroute will fail, but this is normal and does not indicate any disruption in service.
