The video *might* be available on the Washington Post later today.

"Michael Lynn's "The Holy Grail: Cisco Shellcode and Remote Execution" presentation blew the doors off of Caesar's Palace Today with a full shell code exec capabilities for nearly ANY Cisco vulnerability. If your organization hasn't updated any Cisco IOS-based devices lately, the devices may be under someone else's control. The story from Michael Lynn proceed like this: He discovered clues that there was an issue being exploited when reading translated Chinese hacker sites that alluded to the issue. It was likely discovered after the theft of the Cisco Source code in May 2004 which was itself part of a larger series of intrusions. Upon further research leading to the development of working proo-of-concept code, he and his former employer ISS notified Cisco. Cisco patched the issue silently in April but never issued an advisory as to the seriousness of the issue. Cisco has since pulled all older, vulnerable versions of IOS from it's web site. After discovering that ISS was allow Lynn to present on the issue, Cisco CEO John Chambers attempted to censor the issue. When ISS stood it's ground, John Chambers requested that the US Government intervene as a matter of national security to no apparent avail. The popular press is starting to pick up on the issue now and I hear rumour that Michael's presentation MIGHT be made available in video via the Washington Post web site tomorrow."

Since the talk was actually delivered - does anyone have a transcript or a torrent for audio/video?
