FWIW, one person did respond that they are actually used in the real world on some classified govt. networks. I could see writing one up and using it, if the cost of the information justified it, but those have got to be few and far between. The mention of a tricky 'shutdown' command is a good one, but doesn't address the "I can't see my ethernet loopback packet - lets format!" scenario. I guess my point was more about regular hackers, rather than state sponsored information operations red teams or high-end industrial espionage, but who knows when you'll stumble on one of those, eh?
