What header field in the TCP/IP protocol stack involves the hacker exploit known as the Ping of Death?
The Ping of Death exploit involves sending malformed or oversized ICMP packets to a target system. ICMP, which stands for Internet Control Message Protocol, is used for error messages and operational information queries. When an ICMP packet exceeds the maximum allowable size for IP packets, it can cause crashes or other disruptions on the target system. Therefore, the correct answer is the ICMP header field.
Answer is A
A is the answer --ICMP for pinging
The answer is C. IP Header field. Read the wiki page on this to prove it for yourself... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ping_of_death
A. should be the answer
Also have to side with A on this one
Abswer shd be C. IP header field
Answer should be A. As the size of the packet is mentioned in icmp header.
As is evident from the description above, the problem has nothing to do with ICMP, which is used only as payload, big enough to exploit the problem. It is a problem in the reassembly process of IP fragments, which may contain any type of protocol (TCP, UDP, IGMP, etc.).
A. the Ping of Death exploit is associated with the ICMP header field in the TCP/IP protocol stack.
Ans is A. ICMP header
IP header field
The Ping of Death exploit involves sending malformed or oversized ICMP packets to a target system. This exploit specifically manipulates the ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol) header field to create packets that exceed the maximum allowable size for IP packets, leading to crashes or other disruptions on the target system. Therefore, the correct answer is: A. ICMP header field
