|

newsgroup on Usenet, after some obnoxiously gooey cartoon characters] A
|
||
newsgroup regular with a habitual style that is irreverent, silly, and
|
||
<span class="i">cute</span>. Like many other hackish terms for
|
||
people, this one may be praise or insult depending on who uses it. In
|
||
general, being referred to as a smurf is probably not going to make your
|
||
day unless you've previously adopted the label yourself in a spirit of
|
||
irony. Compare <a href="../O/old-fart.html"><i class="glossterm">old fart</i></a>. </p></dd><dd><p> 2. [techspeak] A ping packet with a forged source address sent to

some other network's broadcast address. All the machines on the
|
||
destination network will send a ping response to the forged source address
|
||
(the victim). This both overloads the victim's network and hides the
|
||
location of the attacker.</p></dd><div class="navfooter"><hr/><table width="100%" summary="Navigation footer"><tr><td width="40%" align="left"><a accesskey="p" href="SMOP.html">Prev</a> </td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="u" href="../S.html">Up</a></td><td width="40%" align="right"> <a accesskey="n" href="SNAFU-principle.html">Next</a></td></tr><tr><td width="40%" align="left" valign="top">SMOP </td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="h" href="../index.html">Home</a></td><td width="40%" align="right" valign="top"> SNAFU principle</td></tr></table></div></body></html>
