RE: Sniff/Source Route Cisco Router Traffic?

I demonstrated such a technique in my SANS GCIH practical, available at
http://www.giac.org/practical/Joshua_Wright_GCIH.zip (MS Word).  Set up a
GRE tunnel to a router you control to start sniffing some traffic.  This
does not establish a man-in-the-middle scenario as the traffic would be
asymmetrical in nature, but lets you glean all kinds of useful information
(see section D8 in my paper).

Also see the Phrack 56 article "Things To Do In Cisco Land When You Are
Dead" (Gaius).

My paper was never widely received, so I certainly appreciate any comments
on its content.

Thanks.

Performing a pen-test on a class C network, and I've gained 
privileged access to the main router on the client's network. 
 
Are there any other tricks I can do with admin access (aside 
from obvious DoS attacks) to the external router? For 
clarification, I have the Cisco 2600 privileged password and 
can telnet to the router remotely.
