| An attacker can use ICMP messages as one of the first steps in reconnaissance to discover information about the hosts that are part of the network. This can include sending individual ICMP echo request to the broadcast addresses of a network and sending an ICMP address mask request to a host on the network to determine the subnet mask |

| Broadcast a ping request (which uses ICMP) to all computers on the network but chnage the address from which the request came to that target. This makes it appear that the target computer is asking for a response from all computers. Each of the computers then responds to the target server, overwhelming it and causing it to crash or be unavailable to legitimate users |
