Re: previledge password in cisco routers

[Alen Capalik <wiretap () gmail com>]

When did this list become a "how-to" of hacking for script kiddies? 
Why don't you just do it for him too?  Who in his right mind would ask
a question like he did, unless he's an idiot and has NO CLUE what that
question means.  I would like to hear his excuse for the actual REASON
that he's doing this.  If not, I would be pressured to send him some
unpleasent law enforcement officials to his door.

So, John Morris, what'll be?  What's the reason for the question? 
What r u doing?
