Re: CCO/cisco.com issues.

...

I'm assuming, though not certain, that Cisco would have alternative distribution/communication/update channels in such an event, but is that indeed the case?

My access to ftp.cisco.com is working fine whilst the website remains down..

Hi Steve, No I do realize that what I suggested in my email was just a scenario removed from the case at hand. What I was suggesting though is that 1) if the portals of distribution (http and ftp) were DDoS'd, say as a precursor to exploitation of some other vulnerability. I was not trying to suggest that all means of communication were blocked and that this particular instance was one of an opportunistic DDoS. Sorry if I was unclear. -ed ----------------- ed@the7thbeer.com
