Looks like the two /23's they mention are now being advertised as /24's, and I'm also not sure why cisco published the ssh attack dictionary. --------------------------------------------------- The authors lost some of their credibility when they wrote "Since then two class C networks have been..." At least they used slash notation for the rest of the article. If cisco won't stop using this terminology how will we get others to stop? Should I point them to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classful_network where they can see when a Class C (when it was a valid term) is all addresses that start with 110 in their leading bits and are in this range: 192.0.0.0 - 223.255.255.255. The addresses mentioned are from the historical Class A range even! Grrrr, a pet peeve of mine. Someone here says Class C and I ask them how a Class C is defined and then launch into the whole story. The short of it is they never use that phrase around me again. >;-) Last "Gone are the days when detectors and protectors can sit on the Internet’s sidelines when a group is brazenly attacking a wide range of systems around the world. [...] Cisco and Level 3 Communications agreed that it was time to step in and make it stop. " Declaration of war?
