Haha, I bet the attacker is having a field day sending all those 'heartbeat' messages. Good thing I'm not the one monitoring that server!

ICMP redirect? That's a bit too obvious for this kind of stealthy attack. I'd go with covert channels as the best answer.

Backdoors could work too, but covert channels seem like the most likely tactic used here.

Logic bomb could also be a possibility, but covert channels seem more fitting.

Backdoors definitely make sense here. The attacker has gained access and is using that to send malicious traffic, bypassing normal security measures.

Logic bomb? I don't think so. This is more about abusing existing functionality than triggering a time-based event.

I think it could be covert channels, as they were able to send packages without detection.

Hmm, this sounds like a covert channel attack. Sending large volumes of traffic through a port used for legitimate purposes is a classic tactic to hide malicious activity.

True, but ICMP redirect doesn't seem like the best fit for this scenario. Covert channels make more sense.

I see your point, but I believe backdoors are more commonly used for unauthorized access rather than flooding a port.

But couldn't it also be a logic bomb? The script is set to send a large number of packages at a specific time.

What about backdoors? Could the attacker have used that to gain unauthorized access to the system?
