On the Internet,
ping of death is a denial of service (DoS) attack caused by an attacker
deliberately sending an IP packet larger than the 65,536 bytes allowed by the
IP protocol. One of the features of TCP/IP is fragmentation; it allows a single
IP packet to be broken down into smaller segments. In 1996, attackers began to
take advantage of that feature when they found that a packet broken down into
fragments could add up to more than the allowed 65,536 bytes. Many operating
systems didn't know what to do when they received an oversized packet, so they
froze, crashed, or rebooted.
