icmp_echo_ignore_broadcasts
Submitted by admin on Fri, 2006-06-23 23:58
Turn on (1) or off (0), if the kernel should ignore all ICMP ECHO and TIMESTAMP requests to broadcast and multicast addresses. Off by default.
Please note that if you accept ICMP echo requests with a broadcast/multicast destination address your network may be used as an exploder for denial of service packet flooding attacks to other hosts.
