PIX is ancient.
It's still a big fucking deal, because quite frankly it's likely the NSA have other tools that can replicate the same shit on other, more modern devices. I don't doubt they built a framework to find remote memory read exploits.
There's also SECONDDATE, a tool that, used in conjunction with implants, allows for easy traffic injection.

I hope it all burns.

Best thing all this shit is the hard evidence of hardware being backdoored. I really hope cisco goes bankrupt. It will be a good example for other businesses like CPU manufacturers.

Nothing in those tools indicate Cisco has hardware backdoors in devices. If anything, it indicates the opposite.

It's interesting that they don't feel like patching the PIX vulnerability, but then it is a discontinued product.

I've heard some anon saying that it's better to have a vpn in some god-forsaken country (because in-country you're kinda fucked for privacy), but doesn't that mean you're opening yourself to whatever ancientware the guys in Kyrgyzstan are running?

So, is it worth gettting the Cisco certificates beyond CCNA?

>>56197387
Nope, sorry.
As always, nobody will give a shit.

>>56197413
VPNs aren't really designed for privacy or anonymity in the first place, and using them to try and accomplish that is a Sisyphean task.
Be aware of the limitations of the software you're using; IPSec is fucked, and SSL libraries are usually lumbering leviathans full of crypto implementation failures and bugs.
If you need anonymity, use Tor. If you need "privacy" on a hostile network, then a VPN (or SSH tunnels) is probably fine against someone running Firesheep or whatever MITM tool is in vogue right now.

yeah, that totally adds up

>not using OpenBSD on SPARC machines

>>56197967
>SPARC
im sorry but it's just not worth the wattage in many applications

>>56198088
What's a better architecture, then? MIPS?

>>56197967
>implying Theo's mentalist thinking has anything to do with real security.

When your "proof" of security revolves around not having many listening services, you're doing it wrong.

Install Hardened Gentoo.

Cisco international sales have been declining steadily since the Snowden leaks

lol, you are like a tech vegan

useless

Are you guys just saying this shit, or are you legitimately using it? SPARC, MIPS, and PowerPC development is not very active. The distros which do support them, you still have to jump through hoops to get everything working properly because the one or two maintainers left don't have access to a wide variety of machines to test on. If you don't like x86, arm is the only other platform with legs.

Replaced by Huawei, literally the Chinese Cisco. Even full of Cisco source code.

that's an understatement
i guess if you want to hack factory and hospital equipment this could be cool

>not very active
What the fuck does that even mean? Embedded MIPS devices and PowerPC systems both have currently maintained mainstream distros that plenty of people are using just fine. SPARC has the *BSDs as well as Gentoo, plus illumos distributions which also enable you to use the very much actively maintained OpenCSW repos.

>b-but muh shovelware
Build it, dipshit. It's not hard.

no the hardware is going nowhere
