| 00:00.36 | Bradipo | MyCrapQL that's a good one. |
| 00:00.41 | shadoi | hans: 4? damn you must read quickly and type even faster, and have a very fast machine. |
| 00:00.47 | bonez39 | Any idea what this error means? I get this if I run dmesg, or notice it every time I reboot, or boot up: 166.70.4.82 sent an invalid ICMP type 3, code 13 error to a broadcast: 255.255.255.255 on eth0 |
| 00:01.21 | shadoi | bonez39: some box on your network is sending bogus ICMP packets |
| 00:01.24 | Bradipo | Are you blocking ICMP or somehting? |
| 00:01.39 | Bradipo | Something. |
| 00:02.07 | bonez39 | shadoi: could it be this same box...where i am getting the messages? |
| 00:02.16 | Bradipo | Is that your IP address? |
| 00:02.16 | bonez39 | shadoi: or someone trying to hack my box? |
| 00:02.35 | bonez39 | no, mine is off by the last two groups....the 166.70 is for xmission... |
| 00:02.40 | bonez39 | my ISP... |
| 00:02.41 | Bradipo | That looks like it is one of xmissions routers. |
| 00:02.58 | jsmith | Sure does... |
| 00:03.00 | shadoi | look up ICMP type 3 and that'll give you a clue |
| 00:03.04 | bonez39 | but I called them and they scanned for that address..166.70.4.82 and found nothing on their system that is using that number.. |
| 00:03.20 | Bradipo | I doubt that. |
| 00:03.26 | shadoi | maybe a forged packet |
| 00:03.26 | Bradipo | They probably told you that to get you out of their hair. |
| 00:03.31 | Bradipo | You can ping that IP easily enough. |
| 00:04.16 | bonez39 | Bradipo: ping works, fine...around 34.3 ms...response time... |
| 00:04.37 | Bradipo | Right, so it is obviously assigned to something (or at least something is answering for it). |
| 00:04.46 | hans | shadoi: well, I just grabbed a numnber. I was thinking compile time alone, not config, etc. |
| 00:05.15 | Bradipo | I can't seem to find code 13 in type three ICMP packets... |
| 00:05.20 | shadoi | hans: 4 hours is still quick for compile time.... |

| 00:05.48 | Bradipo | http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc792.html |
| 00:05.52 | Bradipo | I could be blind though. |
| 00:07.31 | jsmith | Google shows enough hits for "icmp type 3 code 13" |
| 00:07.50 | bonez39 | jsmith: too many hits... |
| 00:08.14 | shadoi | maybe it's type 3 code 1&3 |
| 00:08.30 | shadoi | *shrug* |
| 00:08.59 | jsmith | Lots of google hits say code 13 is "Communication Administratively Prohibited by Filtering" |
| 00:09.00 | Bradipo | Well, its a destination unreachable of some type. |
| 00:09.30 | shadoi | jsmith: there ya go |
| 00:10.14 | Bradipo | So, it sounds like you are trying to send out a broadcast packet and they are blocking it. |
| 00:11.05 | Bradipo | ``evil'' as in having the bit that identifies it as coming from a Windows PC. :/ |
| 00:11.12 | JoshH | heh |
| 00:15.46 | Bradipo | #define ICMP_UNREACH_FILTER_PROHIB 13 /* prohibited access */ |
| 00:15.53 | Bradipo | I wonder why this isn't in the RFC... |
