Michael Lynn's Cisco vulnerabilities presentation taken offline at lawyerpoint



Richard Forno had been hosting the Black Hat
presentation on Cisco's massive security vulnerabilities that Michael Lynn had to quit his job at ISS to deliver, since his candyass employer, a "security firm," sold him out to Cisco, who would rather bully researchers than fix their errors.

Now Forno has replaced the presentation with a cease-and-desist letter from the aforementioned candyasses at ISS, in which they whinge about the "misappropriation" of their "intellectual property" (that would be the presentation that they tried to suppress). Please send links to mirrors of Lynn's presentation and I'll put 'em up. 204K PDF Link (via Schneier)
