Did they already do this? Highly doubtful hence Mr. Lyns resignation and decision to go public with his disclosure which brought forth Cisco's move to quash what he had to say via legal threats. When you state "Cisco already did this" what have they done other than tell someone to "shut up we're Cisco and we'll bury you with legal bills". They've done nothing but obscure the fact that they have issues with their IOS they don't want disclosed. http://quotes.nasdaq.com/asp/summaryquote.asp?symbol=CSCO%60&selected=CSCO%60 Company News 07/28/2005 9:30AM Cisco Systems gets pwned at Blackhat Briefings file lawsuit to cover up swiss cheese-like holes =+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+ J.
