I just finished reading up on some interesting press about a Cisco Rootkit presentation coming up at EUSecWest this Thursday, May 22. According to the article it is not to be released into the wild but is only present to show that this type of thing can happen and how they have done so. I’m very interested to hear more about this one especially after Cisco gate/Lynn sometime ago.

This is a placeholder for me to revisit this after the presentation date on May 22.
