I just captured a packet with Snort that was flagged as Cyberkit and it 
differs from the classic Nachi packet -- the data payload is 68 bytes 
and the last 4 bytes are nulls:

The classic Nachi pings are 64 bytes in length, and all 0xAA.  I don't 
get Nachi pings anymore since they are blocked by our border routers. 
This one got through because the length didn't match Nachi.

So... is this really a Cyberkit ping?  And if so, can't someone a bit 
more experienced with signatures create revised signatures that will 
differentiate between Cyberkit and Nachi?

Or, since Nachi is "supposed" to expire tomorrow, is it even worth it?
