Hi!


This was interesting news:
(man - now I wished I made it to blackhat...)

LAS VEGAS--Cisco Systems has taken legal action to keep a researcher
from further discussing a hack into its router software.

[..]

"It is our belief that the information that Lynn presented at Black Hat
this morning is information that was illegally obtained and violated
our intellectual property rights," Noh added.

Lynn decompiled Cisco's software for his research and by doing so
violated the company's rights, Noh said.
