[Bro] icmp_time_exceeded

[Christoph Goeldi]

hi vern

isn't there a possibility (an event) to recognize icmp requests dropped
by the firewall. like the event connection_attempt in case of tcp.
for example this would be useful to detect the welchia worm which scans
for victims via icmp.

thanx
christoph
