Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A ping signal is commonly used to initiate a smurf attack, where an attacker sends a large number of ping requests to an IP broadcast address, causing a flood of responses to be sent back to the victim's IP address, overwhelming their network and causing it to crash. Ping signals are not used for URL masquerading, digital signature forging, or IP spoofing.
