24-Port Managed Gigabit Switch
UDP DoS - Fraggle
A malicious attacker sending a large number of UDP packets
with random ports to the target system. When the target system
receives these packets, it will determine what application is
waiting on the destination port. When it realizes that there is no
application that is waiting on the port, it will generate an ICMP
packet of destination unreachable to the spoofed source
address. Eventually leading it to be unreachable by other
clients and the system will go down.
ICMP DoS - Ping of Death
A malicious attacker sending a malformed ICMP request
packet larger than the 65,536 bytes to the target system. Some
target systems cannot handle the packet larger than the
maximum IP packet size, which often causes target system
froze, crashed or rebooted.
ICMP DoS - Smurf
A malicious attacker sending a malformed ICMP request
packet with broadcast destination addresses to the target
system. After receiving the packet, all reachable hosts send an
ICMP echo reply packet back to the spoofed source address.
Thus, the target host will suffer from a larger amount of traffic
