What MITRE CAPEC-285: ICMP Echo Request Ping (Detailed Attack Pattern - Low Severity) requires
MITRE CAPEC-285 (ICMP Echo Request Ping) is a detailed-level attack pattern in the MITRE Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification. An adversary sends out an ICMP Type 8 Echo Request, commonly known as a 'Ping', in order to determine if a target system is responsive. If the request is not blocked by a firewall or ACL, the target host will respond with an ICMP Type 0 Echo Reply datagram. This type of exchange is usually referred to as a 'Ping' due to the Ping utility present in almost all operating systems. Likelihood of attack: Medium. Typical severity: Low. Maps to weaknesses CWE-200.
