{QUOTE-> Reading various media outlets and blogs recently, it seems that we are losing the war on rootkits. Why do I say that? First of all, for those of you who utilize or manage x86 based systems, security researchers are going to be presenting on rootkits that take advantage of System Management Mode. Cisco guy, don’t feel ignored, cause rootkits are a-comin’ your way too. Core is going to presenting on Cisco rootkits at Blackhat. Of course, attackers breaking into your network and installing rootkits on your Cisco’s would be terrible, but why would they bother when they can just sell you some heavily discounted pre-pwned Cisco gear. <-QUOTE}SecurityFocus (http://www.securityfocus.com/blogs/828)
