smurf... still?

I was looking through a modified copy of smurf.c I had (it listened on a
port and when an incoming connection was detected, it asked for a host and
then smurfed it--or so the documentation says, I just wanted to see how
the port listening was achieved) and just wanted to check how many of the
broadcasts in the default bcastaddr[] still were smurfable, and noted that
the *very first one* was. How would I go about finding out the
administrative contact for a network given its broadcast address?
Specifically I'm looking for 165.154.1.255, but there are probably some
others as well...

(what the heck is that 127.0.0.2 doing in there...?)
