Hello friends,

My IDS was just tripped over 300 times.  The decoded packet says:

mailto:[email protected] for questions
This ICMP ECHO REQUEST/REPLY is part of the real-time network monitoring
performed by Digital Island Inc.  It is not an attack.  If you have
questions please contact

We are not on their network or in any way affiliated with Digital Island,
I'm just curious if anyone else has seen this anomaly, if it is legit, or if
it is a real attack being spoofed from Digital Island...no response from
[email protected] yet.
