Re: Odd Increase in Malformed Packets Aimed at Port 0

These are happening on Windows networks, with SonicWall firewalls, but I'll 
see what I can cobble together to get more detailed packet info.  I'm pretty 
sure this is indicative of some new virus/exploit or something along those 
lines, simply due to the sheer volume of these alerts I've been getting. 
They started at home, on a cablemodem system, and then slowly they began 
popping up at work as well, two completely unrelated networks.

When I'm able to get something along the lines of a tcpdump (or equiv), I'll 
post here.

Thanks,
