ECHO (also known as ICMP Echo).
Purpose: ECHO is primarily used for diagnostic or testing purposes to verify whether a remote host is reachable. It's commonly used by network administrators to troubleshoot network connectivity issues.
Vulnerabilities: ECHO can be misused in certain scenarios for denial of service (DoS) attacks by flooding a target system with ICMP ECHO requests (ping flood), causing it to become unresponsive.
Tools: Ping, Hping, Nmap, Wireshark.
