A Smurf attack is a type of Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack that is launched by sending large numbers of ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol) packets with the intended victim’s broadcast address as the destination. The attack floods the victim’s network with traffic, making it impossible for legitimate traffic to get through.
