    There! See?
    Its just a little over 340 undecillion.

    Whats so hard about understanding that? =)~

    As a side effect of performing that silly
    computation i vote "nonillion" as the funniest
    numeric suffix in the universe.

    As a member of the Linux Systems group at NCBI,
    I fully encourage everyone with an interest
    in Biology to use and test out the resources
    available. The PubMed archive we house is another great full-text search, providing access
    to medical journals on a variety of topics.

    haha, no l33t sp34k here, i was actually talking
    about the cisco model 1005 i have, the
    smallest commercial router i think they
    offer, 1 10-base port and 1 PDU port.

  5. Source for shadowcode Exploit on Exploit Available for Cisco IOS Vulnerability · · Score: 5, Informative
    In case you want to test this on your own routers (worked against my 1005.. sadly :P)

    Heres a link to the source in b64 format, you can extract it with:

    openssl base64 -d -in cisco.txt -out cisco.tgz

    Happy testing!
