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 .
