Exploit Available for Cisco IOS Vulnerability

GNUman writes "Cisco's IOS vulnerability, posted by Slashdot and CERT, has now a published exploit available, as reported recently by CERT. While there are some some articles claiming that the Internet survived a major flaw, maybe with a publicly available exploit could script kiddies start creating havock?. jerw134 wanted to start a pool to find out when the exploit would be publicly available, here's the answer."

    About them Script Kiddies,
    the internet's old plight.
    Goin' all around,
    usin' hacks they didn't write.
    Them Script Kiddies lurk the net,
    as devious little foes.
    Keep them admins well employed,
    and keeps them on their toes!
    When Script Kiddies learn a trick,
    it makes for one tight spot.
    If you ain't patched up to date,
    think again, because you ought.
    How to be a Script Kiddy,
    logon the net ad hoc.
    Google for the hack you want,
    and start your own havoc.

    Someone with the patches should setup a bittorrent with them. Then we can setup a pool to see how long before the RIAA fucks up and sends them a C&D. "Whoops! Cisco? I thought it said Disco!"

    After which they'll explain that they use Juniper equipment because it doesn't suck near as much as Cisco and you'll look like an ass.
