A Smurf attack is effective just by the sheer weight of traffic sent to you,
rather than because of any weakness in your host, so unfortunately there is
nothing you can do on your host to harden it against this type of onslaught.
That's my understanding anyway, security related terms can become quite
imprecise over time, so I think we're discussing the same thing.
