I have been advised that and VPN using aggressive mode is
vulnerable due to the ability of seeing a lot of clear text.
Can anyone tell me what if aggressive mode using 3des and shar1
for phase1 and 3des and shar1 for phase2 mean anything when it
comes to security.
At the moment my understanding is that phase1 and phase2 means
squat when you are using aggressive mode. Someone could get your
passphrase and spoof your address if they really wanted your
data.
