Answer:

This is an attack on availability. A system resource is destroyed or becomes unavailable. Examples of this attack are the Nukes, which cause computers to go out of service. It is one of the oldest attack modes, they use the service or command "ping" to send fragmented, incomplete, or too large packets.
