Forgive the not panicing, but none of the exploits utilized by this tool are new, the newest being a year old, most being 2-3 years old, judging by the dates on the cisco pages. -S On Mon, 29 Mar 2004, Henry Linneweh wrote: > > Cisco warns of new hacking toolkit > http://www.infoworld.com/article/04/03/29/HNhackingtoolkit_1.html > > exploit location > http://www.blackangels.it/ > > -Henry > > > > !DSPAM:4068933e94641474817789! > > > -- Scott Call Router Geek, ATGi, home of $6.95 Prime Rib I make the world a better place, I boycott Wal-Mart VoIP incoming: +1 360-382-1814

This notification serves as a reminder to those who may not have addressed these vulnerabilities in their networks even where there have been fixes for several years. - -- = bep -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (MingW32) iD8DBQFAaKNSE1XcgMgrtyYRAgWyAKCebXMbePjRFZVKMeUYpUYc6JE76QCfcEJa PeZKPuual+8U1/90cFn7cUk= =JU67 -END PGP SIGNATURE-

Which brings to mind the question of when will reporters be able to "objectively" report something, and not "attenuate" certain aspects for the benefit of creating a "scoop". I perfectly understand the need to make public the availability of this new cracking tool, but I do not understand why there was no mention of the fact it exploits bugs that are 1.5-3 years old, which would have put matters in the proper perspective, instead of trying to create commotion as if some immediate danger was hanging above our enterprise LANs. *sigh* --Ariel > > -S > > On Mon, 29 Mar 2004, Henry Linneweh wrote: > > > > > Cisco warns of new hacking toolkit > > http://www.infoworld.com/article/04/03/29/HNhackingtoolkit_1.html > > > > exploit location > > http://www.blackangels.it/ > > > > -Henry > > > > > > > > !DSPAM:4068933e94641474817789! > > > > > > > > -- > Scott CallRouter Geek, ATGi, home of$6.95 Prime Rib > I make the world a better place, I boycott Wal-Mart > VoIP incoming: +1 360-382-1814 > > > +++ > This Mail Was Scanned By Mail-seCure System > at the Tel-Aviv University CC. > -- Ariel Biener e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] PGP(6.5.8) public key http://www.tau.ac.il/~ariel/pgp.html

Not to mention driving traffic to their site which they wouldn't of seen had they mentioned certain key facts. Chris

Compare the potential eyeball count: "Exploit for 3 year old hole available" "Death of Internet Predicted. MPEGs at 11 (10:30 in Newfoundland)". pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature

> "Death of Internet Predicted. MPEGs at 11 (10:30 in Newfoundland)". I think it's 11:30 (Newfoundland does have DST). I'm not a Canadian (and I don't play one on the Internet), so don't quote me. Martin
