The increasing rate of Cyber Attacks based on the DDoS principle has created various new areas of concern for information security. It has also raised a pertinent question — Are we protected against such simplified attacks? With significant rise in the number of attacks and resulting reports of high vulnerability to Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attacks, perhaps we need to reconsider and revisit the pros and cons of the various Protocol such as ICMP, TCP/IP etc. This research is aimed at giving readers a brief outline of DDoS Attacks and its constituents, primarily the ICMP Protocol. We also propose an algorithm to carry out a DDoS Attack based on ICMP Flooding technique.
