Re: CyberKit 2.2 Ping, its driven me Nuts..

Why is this rule called CyberKit 2.2 Ping then? Do both the Nachi worm and the CyberKit Ping generate packets that look 
exactly the same? Should the name of the rule be changed?

The average person who sees these alerts is going to ignore or disable the rule, NOT search through Snort-Users to find 
out it's Nachi and that they should not disable it.
