Assessment Title
Rule Text
TOSS must not respond to Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) echoes sent to a broadcast address.
Description
Discussion Text
Responding to broadcast ICMP echoes facilitates network mapping and provides a vector for amplification attacks.
There are notable differences between Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) and Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6). IPv6 does not implement the same method of broadcast as IPv4. Instead, IPv6 uses multicast addressing to the all-hosts multicast group. Refer to RFC4294 for an explanation of "IPv6 Node Requirements", which resulted in this difference between IPv4 and IPv6.
