R.I.P. Official investigation is definitely needed. Whoever responsible for it should get punished! Mental and physical health is the number one priority! Respecting other people’s mental and physical health is the very basis of being a human. Hope such tragedy will never happen.
Recently finished a course project about ICMP redirect attacks. This paper is helpful regarding what the best services ICMP redirect attacks should target, and how attackers know information such as which server or ports that victim is trying to reach beforehand, etc.
It is a lot of fun digging into ancient protocols. Our recently accepted work at @USENIXSecurity investigates ICMP redirect and how it can (still) allow off-path network traffic manipulation. Paper link:
