SMURF Attack
In a SMURF attack, an attacker sends pings (Echo Requests) to a host with a
destination IP address of broadcast (protocol 1, type 8). The broadcast address has
a spoofed return address which is the address of the intended victim, and the
replies cause the system to crash.
Protection from SMURF attacks is provided once victim protection is enabled.
Enter:
security enable IDS victimprotection
To disable victim protection, enter:
security disable IDS victimprotection
If victim protection is enabled, the device detects the broadcast packet and blocks
the attacker from sending ICMP traffic for 10 minutes. To modify this default
duration, enter:
security set IDS victimprotection <duration>
