*Your* boxes may be hardened beyond all belief and plausibility, but you're *STILL* screwed if some teenaged kid on another continent has more effective control of the router at the other end of your OC-48 than the NOC monkey you call when things get wonky.... It is mostly fantasy. DNS security is much much more important and much more real issue, vs this fictions. If talking about Cisco, we have much more worries about chained bugs, vs teens controlled OC-48 routers...
I mean - it is _real_, but it is far behind _much more realistic_ problems.
