  Cisco IOS Exploitation Techniques (Black Hat, Michael Lynn)
------------------------------------------------------------------------


SUMMARY

Cisco IOS (originally Internetwork Operating System) is the operating 
system used on Cisco Systems routers and some network switches. It is a 
multitasking operating system and provides kernel services such as process 
scheduling as well as the command line interface and routing software.

Mike Lynn, former researcher for Internet Security Systems (ISS), spoke at 
the Black Hat security conference in Las Vegas about a serious 
vulnerability that he found while reverse-engineering the operating system 
in Cisco routers.

DETAILS

Cisco Systems and ISS prevented Lynn and the Black Hat conference 
organizers to publish this presentation and forced to remove it from 
conference material. The material however, can be found at the following
