Posted by CowboyNeal on from the hot-products dept.

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."
