Description
The ICMP supports IP traffic by relaying information about paths, routes, and network conditions. Routers automatically send ICMP messages under a wide variety of conditions. Redirect ICMP messages are commonly used by attackers for network mapping and diagnosis.

Who does this work

12 NICE work roles and 9 EC-Council certifications.

This is an inference across published mappings, not a single claim by anyone. This check maps to a control, which maps to a Cybersecurity Framework outcome, which NIST assigns to the work roles below. EC-Council separately maps its certifications to those same roles.

A certification prepares someone for a role. It is not evidence that a holder is qualified, and neither NIST nor EC-Council has stated that any certification here addresses this check.

Work-role assignments published by NIST (NICE Framework Components 2.2.0 and the CSF 2.0 OLIR crosswalk). Certification mappings published by EC-Council.

Review the device configuration to determine if controls have been defined to ensure the router does not send ICMP Redirect messages out to any external interfaces. Step 1: To verify the ACL is configured to determine the router does not send ICMP Redirect messages out to any external interfaces, execute the command "sh ip access-list". ip access-group DENY_REDIRECT deny icmp any any redirect permit ip any any Step 2: To verify the ACL is applied outbound on interface, execute the command "sh run int Eth YY". interface Ethernet 2 ip access-group DENY_REDIRECT out If ICMP Redirect messages are enabled on any external interfaces, this is a finding.
