Abstract
Methods and systems for secure network system request (sysrq) via Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) are described. A remote computing system sends a query over a network to a target computing system and determines whether the target computing system is non-responsive to the query. When the target computing system is non-responsive to the query, the remote computing system sends an ICMP request to the target computing system over the network. The ping request includes a command to be performed by the target computing system and a key to verify authorization to perform the command.
