Unfortunately, the features of ICMP were often exploited in various forms of bandwidthbased denial-of-service (DoS) attacks, (DoS), such as ping of death, smurf attacks, and ping floods.This fact has shaped how networks handle ICMP traffic today, resulting in many networks limiting the use of ICMP or at least limiting its throughput rates. Ping of death sends a malformed ping larger than 65,535 bytes (larger than the maximum IPv4 packet size) to a computer to attempt to crash it.Smurf attacks generate enormous amounts of traffic on a target network by spoofing broadcast pings, and ping floods are a basic DoS attack relying on consuming all of the bandwidth that a target has available.
