The bank or ICMP flooded the office at that.
Now, what is the big or the ICMP that that Abbink float is a denial of service attack in which the
attack attempts to overwhelm a targeted device with ICMP could request Becket's causing the target to
becoming inaccessible to normal traffic.
The ICMP is Internet control messaging protocol that used to check the connection, the four time synchronization
and a lot of things, actually.
So when the attack comes from multiple devices, the attack becomes a device or distributed denial of
service.
So how it works, actually, the first thing, the attacker sends many ICMP request packets to the targeted
server using multiple devices, then the target server since and I see Ambedkar reply ribbeck it to
each requesting a device IP address as a response.
So here you can see here is the attacker controlling the botnet or the bot and there is the target.
So that.
But when I see MBK request and it will target will reply with Isambard reply and the same thing.
ICO request ico reply request reply and imagine that we have one hundred.
What actually not one hundred one one hundred k one hundred thousand actually or one million.
But and we are going to the same target or the same server.
It will cause it to go down or denial-of-service.
Now, how this can be mitigated, how this attack can be mitigated or how to protect from such attacks,
the first thing this evening, a big flood is most easily accomplished by disabling the ICMP functionality
of the targeted computer or other devices, which I think by default nowadays it is disabled by default.
Now a network administrator can access the administrative interface of the device and disable its ability
to send and receive any request using the ICMP, effectively eliminating both the processing of the
request and the ICO reply.
And the consequence of this is that all network activities that involve ICMP Archibong making the device
unresponsive to request disrupt requests and other network activities.
