Haha, I bet the attacker is having a field day sending all those 'heartbeat' messages. Good thing I'm not the one monitoring that server!

ICMP redirect? That's a bit too obvious for this kind of stealthy attack. I'd go with covert channels as the best answer.

Backdoors definitely make sense here. The attacker has gained access and is using that to send malicious traffic, bypassing normal security measures.

Logic bomb? I don't think so. This is more about abusing existing functionality than triggering a time-based event.

I think it could be covert channels, as they were able to send packages without detection.

I disagree, I believe they used backdoors to compromise the system.

Hmm, this sounds like a covert channel attack. Sending large volumes of traffic through a port used for legitimate purposes is a classic tactic to hide malicious activity.

I think you're right, it does seem like a covert channel attack.
