1Is this purely academic or are you actually trying to carry a payload? There are much better ways to send data to the local machine. – Wug Sep 07 '12 at 18:47

Might be one of those data exilfration techniques like DNS tunneling, etc. – TheRealChx101 Oct 11 '19 at 12:33

Use ping's -p
option:
-p pattern
You may specify up to 16 ``pad'' bytes to fill out the packet you send.
This is useful for diagnosing data-dependent problems in a network.
For example, -p ff will cause the sent packet to be filled with all ones.
