The best response I've seen to all this hype and I completely agree with Scott:
"Do ya think that you wouldn't also notice a drastic increase in outbound traffic to begin with? It's fun to watch all the hype and things like that, but to truly sit down and think about what it would actually take to make something like this happen, especially on a sustained and "unnoticed" basis, is just asinine.
Hopefully, this drives home the importance of all the various BCPs like iACLs, isolated jump-off boxes for interactive access, config-file management, and network telemetry - including visibility into DCN/OOB traffic. There are open-source tools out there which can be used for these purposes. It doesn't require a lot of capex, mainly opex - i.e., elbow-grease. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Roland Dobbins <rdobbins@arbor.net> // <http://www.arbornetworks.com> Luck is the residue of opportunity and design. -- John Milton
