  1. Securing Cisco Routers on CERT Finds Routers Increasingly Being Cracked · · Score: 2, Informative

    There are alot of resources available on security... everyone knows that security begins with a decent policy. When it comes to securing Cisco routers the following links may be useful:

    From Cisco:
    http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/707/21.html

    From the NSA:
    http://nsa2.www.conxion.com/cisco/index.html

    Its not a solution, but its a start

  2. Re:router security on CERT Finds Routers Increasingly Being Cracked · · Score: 1

    SSH is supported on all routers capable of running the IP Plus IPSEC feature set. The IPSEC feature set is required simply because SSH requires crypto support.

    Of course no one seems to have mentioned the fact that you can use access lists and other forms of security to limit telnet/ssh access to your devices. Not to mention the fact that if you are telnetting to a rotuer you are generally doing it over your network... which allows you means to control access and prevent password sniffing.

    Security is in this context is more due to the administrator than the hardware... which is true in most cases.

    Cisco does not ship with SNMP enabled.

  4. Acrophobia has done this for a long time on Bringing Interruption-Based Ads To the Web · · Score: 1

    Acrophobia, an online acronynm game from the creators of You Dont Know Jack have done this for some time. The ads look almost shockwave based and appeared to be part of the initial download and the download before each game started. So they didnt actually interrupt your in game play. If you want a gander as to how this works, check out acrophobia: http://www.flipside.com/games/party/acro/
