I have a variety of clients with data centres who all make use of icmp/ping to monitor their servers/appliances/devices (often with poorly configured snmp versions 1 and 2). Could anybody kindly advise me of tools and strategies for minimising or removing the use of icmp/ping on a supposedly secure network?
Stop using IP. Not an option? Then you'll simply have to live with ICMP, because it's a vital part of IP. Regards Ansgar Wiechers -- "All vulnerabilities deserve a public fear period prior to patches becoming available." --Jason Coombs on Bugtraq
