Nachi puts out a 92 byte ICMP type 0 (echo request) packet with a 64 byte
payload of "a"'s.

Nachi sends out ICMP Type 8, Code 0 packets (echo request).  Clients that
answer it will be sending ICMP Type 0, Code 0 (echo reply).  These replies
WILL also have the string of "aaaaaaa" in the payload, but seeing a reply
does not prove that the system replying is infected.  Try to filter on the
ICMP Type 8, Code 0 combo AND the "aaaaaa"s in the content...
