For the past week or so I've been seeing unsolicited echo replies coming from FDC servers block and one that looks like it is owned by China(?) Most of the entries are from 67.159.54.101 and I am seeing around one per minute. I verified by running tcpdump for a couple minutes (no longer, I'm not an illegal wiretapper!) that I'm not sending echo requests. IPTables is configured to drop and log this invalid traffic.
Any idea what they are trying to accomplish? Some convoluted way of pinging me because they don't get an ICMP unreachable back? And why every minute?
