Which is a great tool for tracking down sshds that are vulnerable to
certain attacks that have been recently discussed on Bugtraq.

Which also does not answer the original question, namely, "How do I
compute the average latency to a host behind a firewall that is
DROPing or DENYing ICMP packets?" ;)

Seriously, it is a good tool to mention. Hopefully everyone on *this*
list who is interested is a sysadmin wearing the whitest of whire hats,
and not using the tool for more sinister purposes...
