    Hi,

    I've been monitoring my firewall logs, via. snort and ACID and
    have noticed that I've been getting a lot of pings from
    different IP addresses, but most from the 'pnap.net'
    network. Between "Undefined Code" (as stated in Snort)
    to the Ping that contains "Please Help Me. matrix catch me"
    packet. Now I've shut down the ICMP capabilities; that
    is, I've set my firewall to drop ICMPs.

    My question is, has anyone received any of such pings
    from the 'pnap.net' network? I've done some
    basic checks on the particular IPs from this domain,
    and since I'm quite a neophyte in the security business,
    I don't know whether the source is spoofed or not.

    Should I even be concerned about these pings?

    Any help/advice appreciated.

    Thank you.

    And a Very Safe and Merry Christmas to you all!

    Edmund
