Heh. Route. Cisco. Hehe.
I aughtta beat you with a switch
Ping me before you start.
Tell my wifi love her.
DAD?!
The memory of your beatings is the hub of all my troubles :(
If they can't route a package with it being tampered with how am I supposed to trust their packets?
So, i started working for Cisco shortly after this went down, and it actually changed basically everything about their global supply chain. Anywhere that devices which would be provided to customers were at rest were blanketed by cameras and literally all procurement shipping was changed to overnight (or first overnight for anything near a warehouse) to try to make it functionally impossible to execute the same attack again.
Talk shit about their products all you want, but they were unironically angry about this issue and in classic Cisco fashion threw money at the problem until it went away.
That's awesome.
I suspect there's still ample opportunity for the NSA/etc (indeed any state actor) to interfere with shipping at almost any point and have disclosure that it happened be a crime.
Packet loss. Hur hur.
