ICMP stands for Internet Control Message Protocol and is used by networks to communicate errors and operational information, the most famous of which is the echo or ‘ping’. ICMP can be used to perform reconnaissance on systems but is probably more famous in the DDoS world as used in a ping flood. A ping flood relies on the fact that for every ping echo request sent to a server, there is a ping echo reply sent back. The protocol allows specification of the number of attempts and the size of the packet. There is even a command to keep pinging until it times out. This is yet another example of the transmission architecture of the internet being used as part of a network-based DoS attack.

If two devices communicate over the internet, an error would be created by the ICMP to share with the receiving device if any of the data have not met its intended target. A ping flood is a DOS attack in which the attacker tries to overwhelm a targeted device with packets of ICMP echo requests making it inaccessible to normal traffic.

ICMP Flood Attack: An internet control message protocol flood attack is a common DoS attack. The attacker attempts to overcome a target device with ICMP echo requests. Commonly ICMP echo-reply messages and echo-request are utilized in ICMP as a network device to the connectivity of the device and to diagnose the health and the connection between the device and the sender. ICMP Flood DDOS Attack is also known as a ping flood attack.
