If I was a betting man, I'd bet that there are some old dusty areas of NASA facilities where there are open NFS exports, NIS providing security, and Sun workstations doing work.

I bet someone could fire up a SATAN scanning instance with a Mosaic browser and find some open stuff on some of those old and crusty computers. :)
