Precautionary measures to prevent this attack would include writing firewall rules. Of these firewall rules, which among the following would be appropriate?

What would you call such a host when the system is on the public side of the demilitarized zone, unprotected b

Ron has configured his network to provide strong perimeter security. As part of his network architecture, he has included a host that is fully exposed to attack. The system is on the public side of the demilitarized zone, unprotected by a firewall or filtering router. What would you call such a host?

Why does the host respond to hping2 and not ping packet?

You ping a target IP to check if the host is up. You do not get a response. You suspect ICMP is blocked at the firewall. Next you use hping2 tool to ping the target host and you get a response. Why does the host respond to hping2 and not ping packet?

[ceh]# ping 10.2.3.4
PING 10.2.3.4 (10.2.3.4) from 10.2.3.80 : 56(84) bytes of data.

— 10.2.3.4 ping statistics —
3 packets transmitted, 0 packets received, 100% packet loss

[ceh]# ./hping2 -c 4 -n -i 2 10.2.3.4
