In this article http://www.boingboing.net/2005/07/27/security_rese archer_.html they say that this was planned for public disclosure back in April. Permission was given by both ISS and Cisco. I want to know about these vulnerabilities ASAP. Not after code is developed that runs the latest spammers' zombie on my router. Hmmm, is Cisco the next Windows?
The blog referenced in the slashdot post, by George Ou was very insightful. I don't know how many times I have heard of people implementing the MAC address filtering scheme. I always thought it was a stupid method of securing a network, because it is so simple copy the MAC address. What I had not realized is that I could so easily find out what a specific MAC address is. I had not thought of using a sniffer for this. I always assumed physical security would need to be breached to determine the MAC address of a preffered client. It makes sense though, for the wireless client to access a wireless AP they must broadcast the MAC address.
I agree, When I first read the slashdot post I thought, "Cool, somebody figured out the pinouts of the G3, and shoehorned an Intel chip in it's place."
Unfortunately, I was sorely disappointed. All they did was gut the G3 and put in a Pentium mobo. That is all fine and good, but why do we need to know about the latest case modder's dream at slashdot?
Unless the whole point to this is a politically motivated tecnilogical statement. (Say that ten times real fast;-)
