I am trying to ping one of my local host and checking CPU process to see how "Ping of death" attack behaves. I tried to ping my other PC which is in local network with 192.168.44.2 IP Address. I tried this,

ping -l 5000 192.168.44.2

and I got error like this,

ping: -l flag: Operation not permitted

I am on MacOSX Lion. How can I remove this flag so machine can let me ping with preload?

Thanks for any direction!
