IP Directed Broadcast


Scenario:

The smurfs got tired of recording cartoons so they decided to become network engineers. Unfortunately they are still using a very old application that only works using broadcast traffic. You need to change the network so it’s possible for them to use the application.

Goal:

  • All IP addresses have been preconfigured for you.
  • Configure the network so router Smurf can send packets to IP address 192.168.23.255

IOS:

c3640-jk9s-mz.124-16.bin

Topology:

IP Directed Broadcast

Video Solution:

  1. I know sir, a smurf attack is when hackers amplify an icmp packet by sending a spoofed sourced icmp echo packet to the broadcast address and this is easily and commonly mitigated by "no ip directed broadcast". I was just complimenting the clever naming convention!
