[ale] marians are coming!

[Stephan Uphoff]

Martians are network packages that due to some strange routing
errors (attacks?) show up in totally unexpected places.

An example would be to receive a package from an Ethernet interface
using  127.0.0.1 (localhost) source or destination addresses.

I would suggest to set up your firewall to block all Martians.
