The most common attacks we have seen come from DNS, SNMP, and Chargen. You can get up to a 50k byte packet from a 64 byte response, but this is highly variable.

  It's funny you should mention this. So I used to be the lead sysadmin for the largest profit-center dept at one of the most well known universities. I left due to pressure to degrade security of the network for credit card processing and cash registers. It wasn't a protest as much as wanting to keep some appearance of integrity. On the plus side, the institution managed to deploy departmental firewalls and take Joe Sixpack's and Sally Sue's business desktops and servers off public IPs. If you wonder how many seconds it take to infect an unpatched windows box desktop, it's other the order of 60 s +- 25%. Yes, the desktop staff intentionally tried a few times just for kicks. It's a cracker's paradise.... fast links and there are like 2 semi-security people. But their duties and tasks are so diffuse, it's almost impossible to catch anything except boxes. Their organizational resistance even pushed away a couple of brilliant people you might have ran into at hope|ccc|bh.... Instituting a security officer and listening to them + letting them reach out to teach, influence are two different things.
