Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This type of attack is commonly known as Ping of Death. It involves sending a ping packet that is larger than the maximum allowed size, causing the victim's computer to crash or freeze. MTU Ping is not a type of attack, but a method used to determine the maximum transfer unit of a network. Buffer overflow and session hijacking are also types of attacks, but they do not directly cause the victim's computer to crash or freeze.
