ICMP clarification

[Ofir Arkin <ofir () ITCON-LTD COM>]

I have seen the ICMP discussion on this list couple of times before.

If people want to grasp the problems regarding ICMP Usage in Scanning, than
 you can read my reseach paper about it. It is available from my web site:
 www.sys-security.com, version 2.01 is the latest.

You can also read Rik Farrow's article at Network Magazine, called
"ICMP Stands for Trouble":

Hope people would find this information usefull.
