Over the last month, I increasing numbers of Smurf trying to come in on my
home firewall, all on Port 0.  From what I have seen & read, this is a
pretty old vulnerability that has been patched. Is this a new hole? I went
from seeing one in a month to 40 (different IPs) just this weekend over a
72 hr period. All coming from my local area (guessing just on the info that
I pull from GeoBytes.com).

Anyone else seeing this ?
