You are trying to send a malformed ping with a size of more than 65535 bytes. Which of the following options best describes this type of availability attack?
Ping of doom
Ping of death
Ping sweep
Ping flood
A ping of death is an obsolete attack on availability.
A correctly-formed ping packet is typically 56 bytes in size, or 64 bytes when the Internet Protocol header is considered. However, any IPv4 packet (including pings) may be as large as 65,535 bytes. Some computer systems were never designed to properly handle a ping packet larger than the maximum packet size because it violates the Internet Protocol documented in RFC 791.
