Is this another one of those "Scanrand" can scan at a rate of 65,000 ips without setting off IDS/IPS appliances ??

If shellcode can be run on routers as Mike's presentation showed,
well then I think that we're all going to be in for a world of hurt
sometime in the future.
Cisco did nothing but prove the fact that this is a real threat by
doing what they did in regard to all the cease and desist orders, and
confiscating the presentation at Blackhat.

Just my 2p's worth.

Just keep your routers patched and you'll be safe. He used a very
new technique with an old vulnerability that has already been
patched. The biggest issue is that people aren't used to patching
their Cisco routers because no one has even been able to prove that
shellcode can run on IOS before.
