Re: Cisco 675 Denial of Service Attack

[poke <poke () OLY SILVERLINK NET>]

QWest DSL (of which I am a customer/user) uses the 675 in bridging mode
(in fact that is how it was delivered). AFIK it can be affected by traffic
about as much as a dumb hub can. However, you can make it active, give it
an IP address etc if you want to use it's NAT or WebAdmin capabilities.
Then you are vulnerable... 99% of those QWest customers who use the 675
probably wouldn't have a clue or a reason to change this.
