Stealth mode in Mac OS X

In Mac OS X, you can enable Stealth mode so that ping requests to your IP address are unreachable.

Go to System preferences -> Security & Privacy -> Firewall -> Firewall Options

Tick the Stealth mode options as shown below:


Now if you try to ping your Mac's IP address from another machine, you'll get the Request Timeout error with the stealth mode enabled.
