Good to know that malicious things are always on the other side
of the router.  I must be hallucinating when I encounter pwned
boxes with sniffers running inside of a network.  Everyone
restricts MAC addresses at their switches.  Nobody is vulnerable
to cable taps, wireless sniffing, ICMP redirects, or any other
trickery.

Sarcasm aside, I don't think being shielded from the outside
makes that much difference.  It's foolish to assume that a
corporate intranet is squeaky clean.
