Wired Interviews Mike Lynn

Posted by timothy on Tuesday August 2, 2005 @02:18PM from the not-captain-sisko dept.

ndansmith writes "Wired has got an interview with Mike Lynn, who revealed a major vulnerability in Cisco IOS at Black Hat 2005 in Las Vegas, and who has subsequently become the subject of an FBI investigation. A quote from Mike Lynn: 'Cisco said, "You guys are lying. It is impossible to execute shell code on Cisco IOS." At that point (ISS) management was annoyed.... They were like, "Mike, your new research project is Cisco IOS. Go find out how to exploit bugs on Cisco IOS so we can prove these people wrong."'"

What is this new trend to post a reply that is relavent to the previously posted story in the thread for the next story? Is this a new attempt to troll?

Does anyone think it's odd that of the last seven stories, not a single one has a comment modded higher than 3? What's up?
There's a couple of moderations up, but I don't see any downmods. We might be able to say anything we want without fear of being modded down!
Lets test this:
