Subject: RE: Strange ICMP

The packets all have 36 bytes of 0x00. The checksums and IDs do not
appear visually to be crafted, at least there is no pattern I can see.
The TTL values are reasonable based on a traceroute if the initial TTL
was 64. This leads me to believe they are not generated by a Windows
machine, but more likely a Linux, FreeBSD, or *NIX.

Hmmmm!

Is there anything interesting/unusual about the ping packets themselves?
