Recently posted on a website, is a story that RuggedCom who boasts "hardened" and "industrial strength" systems, has been found to have a known backdoor into their systems.

The link to the story that I am posting here at this time contains a script to possibly exploit this vulnerability.  I do not suggest you download and / or try this and  suggest you stay Cyber Safe by only reading the article.  I do not approve of malicious behavior.

I find it amazing that some people go to great lengths to protect their network and their companies where others sometimes miss the importance of "hardened systems".  If this is completely true and their systems do have a backdoor, then they are not hardened at all.

Remember the old adage, the chain is only as strong as its weakest link.  Is Boasting the weak link or being discovered to have a backdoor found the weak link?  Personally, I think its both.  if you climb up and put yourself onto a pedestal, there are a lot of people with sling-shots waiting for you to stand there and pound your chest.

be safe, be smart, be thorough !
