1. Implement rate limiting: Rate limiting is a technique used to limit the amount of incoming and outgoing transmissions on a network. This can be done by setting up IP–based rules that will monitor for Packet Internet Groper (PING) requests or transmissions and limit the number of packets or data allowed within a given time period.
2. Enable firewalls: Network firewalls can be used to identify and block malicious PING packets from entering the network. Firewalls analyze packet headers, packet payload, and other attributes in order to determine whether a packet should be allowed or blocked.
3. Install Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS): IPS is a type of security system that monitors network activity and detects suspicious activity that could potentially lead to an attack. If a malicious activity is detected, the IPS will take appropriate actions (such as blocking the source IP address).
4. Use specialized software: There are a number of different software solutions available to protect against ping flooding attacks. These tools range from cloud–based tools to more advanced solutions that can detect, analyze, and block malicious traffic.
