Ping of Death, no doubt. Adam's probably going to blow up the entire network with that massive ICMP packet. Hope he remembers to disable his smart fridge before he launches the attack, or he might end up stuck in the refrigerator.

Ping of Death, for sure. Adam's trying to recreate that old-school Windows 95 vulnerability. Guess he's feeling nostalgic for the good old days of dial-up and floppy disks.

Ah, the Ping of Death, the OG of hacking attacks. Adam's bringing the big guns, but I bet he's just trying to impress the other script kiddies in his IRC chatroom.

Hmm, fragmented ICMP packets over 65,536 bytes? Gotta be the Ping of Death, no doubt. Adam's going for the big boom, but I wonder if he has enough explosives in that packet.

Ah, the good old Ping of Death attack! Adam's trying to crash that remote target with a massive ICMP packet. Classic hacker move, but I hope he doesn't blow up the whole internet this time.

I'm not sure, but I think it could also be a Land attack since it involves sending malformed packets to the target.
