Unfortunately in my case (and the case of others), I'm served with cable internet through GCI cable in Anchorage AK, which has its cable network set up such that it is just one large ethernet with some 1000+ users and no security whatsoever (most entertaining to connect a winbox to the network and click on Network Neighborhood and see all defined domains/workgroups...) I don't know about other cable internet providers but this would at least be a problem with mine. > I tested it against freebsd 2.2.8 stable, 3.0 stable and 3.1 stable, all > they are vulnerable, it's not a big threat anyway, as you have to be on > the same ethernet to use the exploit.
