http://www.ISAserver.org But they are! It's HARDware! Grrr, hard
things! Solid as a rock, matey! ;)

The problem isn't just that they don't update, it's that you need magic
pixie powder to update Cisco stuff. Or rather, someone who knows Cisco
stuff and (more importantly!) how to navigate their website! 

IIRC you have to download chunks of the firmware/OS and upload them bit
by bit over TFTP. It's madness!

Hi Andrew,
 
But the problem goes even deeper than that. Because "hardware" firewall
guys think their devices are immune from disease (unlike the TB ridden
carcasses of Windows devices), they never update their devices, and
Syphco feeds into that mindset by not providing an automated approach to
updating their devices.

A Windows bot that looks for badly set up Cisco devices.. Nice :)

They've also only *just* fixed the flaw in their devices that was made
known at the black hat conference earlier this year, if you can remember
that far back.
