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.
