I work at a large university and our security guys think this guy is what's been causing us problems all morning. Lots of subnet scans (tons of incomplete arps), CC Mail servers are wacking out, HPOV noting that old 3Com gear is dropping etc. This is what I've heard through the rumor mill (so take it with a grain of salt)...
