A couple of notable attacks would include the DOD and CIA, as well as
the SYN attack on panix (www.panix.com).
For more information from one side, you might visit www.2600.com (the
hacker mag) at:
http://www.2600.com/2index.html
Another site is:
http://www.river-city.com/hacked/
www.iss.net and www.microsoft.com each have fixes (and some background
info) on SYN attacks.
I believe source code for SYN attacks is available at:
http://www.infonexus.com/~daemon9
A discussion of SYN attacks is available at:
www.dejanews.com (search for SYN ATTACK)
Just do a search via Altavista and you should be able to come up with
more on each of these.
