Hmm, I'm not sure. Fraggle attack maybe? That would involve sending a bunch of UDP packets to an amplifier. But the ICMP part is throwing me off.

I'm not sure, but I think it could also be a Fraggle attack due to the large size of the reconstructed packet.

Ping of death, definitely! Tess is trying to overload the target system by sending a massive ICMP packet - classic move.

I agree with Margo, the total size of the ICMP packet is a clear indicator of a Ping of death attack.
