Blocking an ICMP Ping
Computer hackers use what is known as “pinging” to find potential
victims on the Internet° By pinging a specific IP address and receiving a
response from the IP address, a hacker can determine that something
of interest might be there° The Router can be set up so it will not
respond to an ICMP ping from the outside° This heightens your Router’s
security level°
