    Could you be a bit more specific than that?

    ICMP types: http://www.iana.org/assignments/icmp-parameters

    You haven't explained many details about how you were attacked, so hard to say if that will solve your problem.

    Note that if your goal is to stop responding to ICMP requests, there are also some kernel parameters you can tune using sysctl.
