der artikel muss aber dringend ergänzt werden -.-

edit: außerdem: Smurfing, in relation to computer networks, is a type of denial of service attack that causes a network to become flooded with responses to a fake TCP/IP ping request.

One typical method would be for an attacker to ping the broadcast address of a network with a spoofed source address. All hosts on the network will respond to the ICMP echo request, but they will respond to the spoofed address. In this case the target would be the host with the spoofed address.
