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.
