Responding to broadcast ICMP echo requests facilitates network mapping and provides a vector for amplification attacks.
Determine the type of zone that you are currently securing. # zonename If the zone is not the global zone, determine if any interfaces are exclusive to the zone: # dladm show-link If the output indicates "insufficient privileges" then this requirement is not applicable. If the zone is the global zone or the non-global zone has exclusive interfaces determine if the system is configured to ignore IPv6 multicast ICMP echo-requests. Procedure: # ndd -get /dev/ip ip6_respond_to_echo_multicast If the result is not 0, this is a finding.
Configure the system to not respond to IPv6 multicast ICMP echo-requests. Procedure: # ndd -set /dev/ip ip6_respond_to_echo_multicast 0 This command must also be added to a system startup script.
Lavender hyperlinks in small type off to the right (of CSS
class id
, if you view the page source) point to
globally unique URIs for each document and item. Copy the
link location and paste anywhere you need to talk
unambiguously about these things.
You can obtain data about documents and items in other
formats. Simply provide an HTTP header Accept:
text/turtle
or
Accept: application/rdf+xml
.
