FYI, I've seen this happen as well. The pings seem to come from all over the place. They do not come rapidly as in a flood. perhaps it's a tribe-like scan of some sort? I don't get any malformed packets just straight ICMP-ECHO-REQUEST.

Last night from 12:40am to about 8:35am (central standard us time), the machine was continously pinged, at a rate of 5 to 10 times per minute, from machines all over the world. I don't think this was intended as a DDoS, due to the low rate of firings, but what else could this have been? -- Jim Lindstrom jlindstr () uiuc edu
