Hi All,

a caveat that some might not think about...

Quote from www.snort.org news

"According to an incidents.org poster, Tom Liston, the CODE RED worm causes
the unfortunate side effect of crashing Cisco (675/678) DSL CPEs running any
CBOS prior to version 2.4.1. Apparently the problem is caused by the buffer
overflow GET request. This request locks up any modem with the web
management interface enabled. James Edwards also posted that large ISPs and
DSL providers (including Qwest) are noticing DoS-type problems."
