Attendees at the Defcon security event denounce the way Cisco Systems and Internet Security Systems came down on Michael Lynn after he showed that it is possible to hack Cisco routers.
Black Hat is not just about breaking and entering this year as Windows Vista and IE7 come under the spotlight.
The Australian Computer Emergency Response Team (AusCERT) is advising all organisations with Cisco routers to update to the latest version of the vendor's operating system after serious vulnerabilities were exposed in the software last week.
Cisco Systems' customers received e-mails on Wednesday from the networking company advising them of a security breach of its Web site.
Internet Security Systems has hit back at critics who have accused the company of hypocrisy and thuggish behaviour following a former employee's disclosure of a serious vulnerability in Cisco Systems' router operating system.
Although many software makers promote responsible disclosure, it isn't universally backed by the security community. Critics say it could make security companies lazy in patching. Full disclosure of flaws is preferred.
