I read this a lot about DoS attacks and other such things being feared because of possible impacts on power grids and other infrastructure, but has there really ever been a case of this? Just curious...
Don't see much of Bushwa and the Yellow Buzzard. :-)
If their tool affects Cisco devices, we would all be screwed if that thing goes ‘public’.
I remember years ago seeing a small ARPA-net node sitting at Gunter AFS, back before we had Email, Usenet, and Internet. The original underpinnings of the Internet were developed to be cooperative, with what at the time were reasonable measures to eliminate or recover from "errant" devices. Computer "viruses" et al were unknown at that time.
With all of the info about various attacks we read lately, we realize again and again how fragile software can be.
