	Port	Unreachable

Well,
    After over 100,000 alerts each with very different payloads the
traffic stopped. I do have a list of all of the dropped packets from my
firewall as well and it appears that it was hitting 3 IP addresses which
are public facing, not just one. The weird part, is that two of those
three aren't even live. So I think that this may have been noise from a
different attack...

    I'd be very interested in decoding the payloads for some of these.
Anyone here have any tools to do such a decode? I'd rather not do it
manual if at all possible.
