How to stop ICMP DDoS ?
Hello,
Please help to stop icmp ddos attacks. I'm not usind any web hosting software (apache, mysql, exim etc) just ssh and hlds.
Here is log from tcpdump:
This log is from 200Kbit/sec attack, the maximum punch was about 800Mbit/sec.

Thanks for your reply, actually the tcpduml log is made after that, as I have blocked all ping requests by iptables:
DROP icmp -- anywhere anywhere icmp echo-request
/proc/sys/net/ipv4/icmp_ec
So, it's not enough as I see..
Current conf:
Any more suggestions ?

I am sorry, I think it should be
/proc/sys/net/ipv4/icmp_ec
Because that would make it ignore all the icmp replies, even without IP tables. Try it.

Ok.
During of such kind of attacks my data center is closing my IP forwarding it to the blackhole and says, there is no other solution...
And now I want to ask them to close all the icmp traffic to my server, will it solve the issue ?
I'm not well informed about datacentre's systems and would like to know what do You think about this?

Well, your computer would not become the participant. Normally they send huge ICMP packets, they fragment to smaller ones and your system responds to each one which creates a bigger problem, as your system becomes a participant unknowingly. Furthermore, the return address is also set to someone else's address so you reply to some third network, making you an attacher. But we are certainly not stopping their traffic. However, hopefully the attacker would not get satisfaction since you quit participating in their game.

Thank you.
echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/icmp_ec
This would ignore all the ICMP requests.
