Vulnerable

in the late afternoon on Sunday, the 20th of July 2003 by Chad

Didn’t take long for Cisco’s vulnerability to be exploited. I spent most of Thursday fielding calls from the help desk because people’s internet sessions would drop, our call center application would hang, etc. Every time someone updated a backbone router we’d lose sessions. 11:30 at night I was still getting paged because of it.
This sounds like that hoax email going around about shutting off the internet to clean it once a year.
Ahh well. I’ve taken the weekend to clean up the back end code on the site, add a few patches, blog a bit, and build two new systems out of spare parts. One is going to replace the wife’s system which is having “issues” and the other is a new server for the parent’s house. Yeah, we’re all high tech like that.
