icmp flood attacks
ICMP flood attacks refer to a type of cyber attack where a large number of Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) packets are sent to flood or overwhelm a target network or device. This flood of packets can cause congestion, leading to network slowdowns or even system crashes, making the targeted device or network unavailable to legitimate users.
