Mesquite, Borden County, Texas. Mesquite is a former town in Borden County, Texas, United States. From its inception, Mesquite remained a rural farming community. A school, established in 1905, served the area until 1952, after which the building appears to have been abandoned. Today all that remains at the site of Mesquite are a Church of Christ, and the abandoned schoolhouse. The rest of the town appears to have been subsumed by private farms for crop land.
A Fraggle Attack is a denial-of-service (DoS) attack that involves sending a large amount of spoofed UDP traffic to a routerâs broadcast address within a network. It is very similar to a Smurf Attack, which uses spoofed ICMP traffic rather than UDP traffic to achieve the same goal. Given those routers (as of 1999) no longer forward packets directed at their broadcast addresses, most networks are now immune to Fraggle (and Smurf) attacks. #OpIsrael.
In summary, DoS attacks such as smurf and fraggle attacks attempt to prevent a system from responding to legitimate requests. A smurf attack sends a broadcast ping with a spoofed IP address (the IP address of the victim), and ping uses ICMP.
