Mike Muuss was a notable computer scientist, best known for creating the free network program Ping, which he developed in December 1983. He worked with the US Army at the Maryland scientific lab, focusing on geometry, ray tracing, and computer networks. Despite authoring many programs, Ping, a concise 1000-line program, remains the most recognized. Originally crafted for BSD, its utility led to widespread implementation across numerous operating systems. Tragically, Muuss died in a car accident in November 2000. He was honored with a lifetime achievement award from USENIX in 1993.
