Swimmer Posted August 2, 2005 CID Share Posted August 2, 2005 As some of you might know at Black Hat 2005 there was a presentation about a security flaw in the operating system of just about all Cisco routers. What this would basically do would allow hackers to take over a router or put the router out of service. Since the Internet is run on aprox. 60% Cisco equipment this could create a dooms day event. If you have no idea what I am talking about here is a fairly good article of what happened: http://www.tomsnetworking.com/Sections-article131.php Basically since the beginning of Security updates and Service Packs hackers have been targeting microsoft products and exposing hacks. I am not sure if anyone who discovered a hack gave a presentation on it but my real question is do you think that Cisco/ISS over reacted to the evidence that there are problems with the Cisco OS?
