Smurf as Spoof Type Attacking Activity on Network and Neutralization

Abstract

Reliable and timely detection of cyberattacks is becoming indispensable for securing networks and systems. Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) flood attacks continue to be one of the most serious threats in both IPv4 and IPv6 networks. There are various types of cybersecurity attacks based on ICMP protocols. Many ICMP protocols are very similar, so security managers might think they might have the same impact on the victim's computer systems or servers.
