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

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."

    I found this in another article about the same story:

    Also on offer, apparently, is the Enterasys Dragon IDS 6.1 intrusion detection system (IDS) software for $16,000 and an old Napster file sharing code, a snip at $10,000.

    The original name behind the group was one Larry Hobbles who now seems to have disappeared. The Source Code Club is now said to be hawking a list of other stolen code to anyone who buys one full copy of the source code for sale.

    The group posted to FullDisclosure that they will post further announcements in alt.gap.international.sales.

    Sure enough, here's the CISCO Pix file listing and the "newsletter".
