A Ping of Death attack involves sending an ICMP packet that is larger than the maximum size allowed by the IP protocol (65,536 bytes). This large packet can cause the target system to crash, reboot, or hang.
In a 'ping of Death' attack, ping causes the remote system to hang, reboot or crash. To do so, the attackers make use of ping command in conjunction with the -l argument (used to specify the size of the packet sent) to ping the target system with a data packet by TCP/IP(65,536)
