65,536 bytes is the limit for IP packets, so it's Ping of death for sure.

Fraggle is more about UDP, not ICMP.

I'm a little unsure here. I know there are different types of DoS attacks, and I'm familiar with the Ping of Death, but I can't quite remember the specifics about the packet size. I'll have to review my notes to be sure.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused on this one. I know the Ping of Death involves sending oversized ICMP packets, but I can't remember if that's the specific detail about the packet size being larger than 65,536 bytes. I'll have to think this through carefully.

B) Ping of death - the name alone sounds like it would do some serious damage! I wonder if the attacker has to hold their breath while sending those packets.
