It's ok. This is the beginning of the end of Microsoft's reign in the IT world and they know it, which is why they are taking the legal route. The Beast wants to extort as much money as possible from people before it's all over. Companies that resort to legal threats and eventually legal action are beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel.
Well, maybe not their routers, but I've definately know you can achieve this on the PIX and ASA firewalls, as I've done it before. Basically you set up an access-list specifying the type of traffic you want to monitor. You then use your newly created access-list in conjunction with a capture statement to dump the packets in question. So, if you wanted to dump all port 80 traffic for example, you could do it this way:
# access-list dump extended permit 80 any any
# capture capl access-list dump interface inside
After you wait enough time for the capture to be populated with information, you can display it like this
# show capture capl
Granted, this isn't something you'd want to do on an already bogged down firewall/router, but if you don't have any other choice, it can be very helpful in troubleshooting network issues.
How hard is it to run a tcpdump (or IOS's equivalent) on a core router to see what type of traffic is saturating the network? And why the fuck is there a need to post this on/. like it's a big deal?
I see where he's coming from. A lot of non-Linux users see Linux users as egotistical elitists who view the technical "normies" out there as incompetence, and I don't blame them. A good chunk of Linux users act as if they're god's gift to IT. The last place I worked at was full of people like this, and let me tell you how excited they made non-Linux users out there about trying out Linux. You can be a knowledgeable Linux user without being a douche about it....I am.
Why don't more Linux-using shops reach out to the Linux-using community?
There's a big difference between using Linux in your infrastructure/implementing devices and supporting users running Linux. Namely you can control how you're using Linux, it's a bit more difficult to control how others are.
Agreed. They were so afraid of getting attacked that they ignored the constitution they swore to uphold. So they are, specifically: cowards, traitors, and oath-breakers.
As a certain someone said, "those who give up their freedeom for security deserve neither". Sadly, we live in a different age..
I have a question. Does it constitute as a GPL violation if they're simply just using the BusyBox software? I always thought it was only a violation if a.) they were using the actual source code of a GPL'd work, or if b.) they were linking to compiled GPL'd libraries.
You don't ever need to login as root...ever. If you're needing to type in a lot of commands that require root access and you're getting sick of typing in sudo every time, just `sudo bash' then be on your way.

Could someone please recommend an option for the unprotected?
You could try pulling out.
I guess when wire-tapping and CCTV just isn't enough

You can dump udp traffic via tcpdump yo....tcpdump is just it's name, not a limitation. You can dump any type of Layer 3 traffic with it.

they have destroyed VOIP as a threat, and they can go about their usual greedy, grasping ways
eh, Vonage isn't much better than the telcos in the respect..
haha, i don't think you could have put that any better :)
Seriously, wtf did these people expect was going to happen? There's no such thing as a free lunch folks.
the moaning sounds of a dying industry?
Sweet, so I guess there'll be a lot more G4's for sale on craigslist that I can experiment w/Linux on =D.
Yet another Linux article by someone who doens't know what they're talking about.
Perhaps we'll see a temporary decline in falling chairs?
she should have been busted by the fashion police instead

Doesn't any OS that implements TCP/IP rely on the open source TCP/IP stack from BSD?
Here's my chance to show up that smug Inanimate Carbon Rod.
