Its possible with the following methods:
Setup kernel variable to drop all ping packets (temporary):
echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/icmp_echo_ignore_all
This instructs the kernel to simply ignore all ping
requests (ICMP type 0 messages)
To re-enable:
echo "0" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/icmp_echo_ignore_all
Add following line to
/etc/sysctl.conffile, append this line (permanent solution to step one):
net.ipv4.icmp_echo_ignore_all = 1
Reload with sysctl -p
Use iptables by setting the ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol):
Add these lines:
iptables -A OUTPUT -p icmp --icmp-type echo-request -j DROP
OR
iptables -A OUTPUT -p icmp --icmp-type 8 -j DROP
If using
firewalld:
Check ICMP types available
firewall-cmd --get-icmptypes
We are after
echo-reply, so apply block
firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-icmp-block=echo-reply
