Cisco Source Code Up For Sale: Only $24,000

spackbace writes "The notorious, mysterious Source Code Club (SCC) has re-emerged, this time selling source code for a Cisco application in another blatant violation of copyright regulations. Believed to be an anonymous collection of hackers, the SCC this week announced in a posting on a group Web site that it is offering the complete Cisco Pix 6.3.1 source code for US$24,000. Cisco Pix is a firewall application providing security, intrusion protection, network monitoring and other services for business and carrier networks."

As long as they don't start selling software they steal from IBM, as then SCO would hafta sue 'em!

$24k?

[miles31337]

From my experience with PIXen, it's certainly not worth that...

At least...

[imsabbel]

there is no ebay-link this time...
But still i sense the good old "want to sell something? Advertise with a slashdot story" sprit :)

Re:At least...

[superpulpsicle]

I know slashdotters, make some shit up. Source code is worth nothing until it comes out of some good story.

A female russian spy escaped cisco with the source code after sneaking by an army of cisco security armed with AK-47s. She walked all the way to Ebay headquarters bearfoot and delivered 40 floppies in a pizza box. Her only weapon was a 10BaseT ethernet cable.

Will buy Linux

Anyone here has the source code for Linux OS? I'll pay roughly $2-3 grands via Yahoo Paydirect.

$2-3 grand!? I got mine for $699 from a little company called SCO, which is currently having a closing down sale.

Of course, the toll-free telephone support line seems disconnected: 1-800-DEV-NULL
at first i thought that said "troll-free telephone support line".

I would buy it

[lateralus_1024]

but i'm in California and I don't want to pay tax on it.

Re:Someone paying 24k

[Xerp]

Sure. Yes. Pay 24k. Uh-hu. OK. Let me get my PayPal account set up. Ah, I have a buyer... "Leave the money in a brown paper bag STOP Wear a false mustache and a pink carnation STOP Make sure the bills are unmarked STOP Either that, or five copies of that wonderful Microsoft Windows XP will do STOP thank you Mr Ballmer STOP"

$24K ...hmm.

[SinaSa]

I wonder how they work out the values for the source they steal. Is it just based on how long it took them to get it, or do they have a formula like the Ed Norton one in Fight Club?

wow! firewall!

[RelliK]

pssst, there is another firewall you can download from here for free!!! Can you believe that??? But shhh! keep it quiet or they'll shut down the mirror.
