Abstract
The increasing rate of cyberattacks based on the DDoS principle has created various new areas of concern for information security. It has also raised a pertinent question—Are we protected against such attacks? With significant rise in the number of attacks and resulting reports of high vulnerability to ICMP flood attacks, perhaps we need to reconsider and revisit the pros and cons of the ICMP protocol. In this paper, we mainly focus on giving readers a brief outline of DDoS attacks and its constituents, primarily the ICMP protocol. We also present a survey and the research findings that show the rising vulnerability to ICMP and subsequently DDoS.
