Dude, Tess is going all out with this one. Ping of death for sure, gotta love those classic hacking techniques.

Ha, Tess must be feeling extra evil today. Ping of death is the way to go - bet she's hoping to bring the whole system down with that massive ICMP packet.

I'm going with C) Ping of death. Tess is trying to crash the target system by sending a packet that's way too big. Sneaky hacker move!

I think you're right, C) Ping of death makes sense. Tess is definitely up to no good.

Hmm, I'm not sure. Fraggle attack maybe? That would involve sending a bunch of UDP packets to an amplifier. But the ICMP part is throwing me off.

I'm not sure, but I think it could also be a Fraggle attack due to the large size of the reconstructed packet.

I agree with Margo, the total size of the ICMP packet is a clear indicator of a Ping of death attack.
