        A little bit of poking leads me to wonder if this isn't the
canonical "Backhoe DoS".  ;)  A search through ARIN shows 320+ domains
under the 192.88/16 network.  All of them appear to be dead in the water,
including NASA's Johnson Spaceflight Center (JSC), Siemens, Motorola,
General Electric, and more.  A veritable Who's Who, no?
