synchronized pings
Hi all,
I've found 'synchronized pings' in my logs from several hosts all around the world.
Today they where 11 hosts more or less doing ping to my Debian box at the same time
(11 pings in the same second). Sure this is not a DOS attack, almost for my server,
but i can't understand why they are pinging me all at the same time, three o more
times a day. Any ideas?
Searching in the logs I found pings from same of theese hosts a month ago, but in that
days they were only 3-5 hosts pinging me at the same time...
An excerpt of my logs:
