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...

Murray Kucher (mskucher@hookup.net, still listed as hookup's contact in
various databases) has long left HookUp; I don't believe his @hookup.net
address works anymore.
To confuse matters further, NetCom Canada has some odd ownership of HookUp,
whom I believe declared bankruptcy. Last I heard, NetCom only acquired
HookUp's customer base. I mention this in the event that you are unable
to find anyone at HookUp -- try a contact from www.netcom.ca instead.

Hookup went bankrupt several months ago. Much of it went to Netcom Canada,
and some of the franchise pieces went to a company called Interhop. Murray
is definately not there anymore. 165.154/16 is routed via UUNET
Canada, to Interhop. RADB claims it to Interhop via MCI.
Clearly INTERNIC records have not been updated by the new owners. Hookup
had a number of CIDR blocks and several AS numbers if I remember
correctly.

This is an easy one...
