I am not sure if it's just those SMURF attack someone write about yesterday, but in accordance to my information: - there was 3 or 4 SMURF attacks againts .PSU.EDU servers. May be, some of them was forwarded to DAL.NET because it's IRC server and all (ALL) this attacks was done to show _I am very BIG and you are NOTHING_ in IRC conversation, or _I have 10 shells in XXX.GOV and you have not_ or _My shells are better than yours_. - the server engr-mis-01.cedcc.psu.edu was broken and abused by the hacker. Through it's suspection only. - the hackers have used some accounts in NASA to provide SMURF. Unfortunately, I can't contact anyone from NASA in a few weeks and if someone can give me contact e-mail it'll be appresiated.
