Ive found that if I start every issue assuming the device is hijacked and the activities are masked so I cant see them, it helps me to work back slowly into reality until I discover what I messed up three weeks ago and is just presenting now, usually turns out to be something really dumb, like toying with some demo snmp program and write strings or having set some watchdog reboot a long while back and forgotten about, and pickling around with ospf is dropping communication to that target. process: 1. identify problem 2. Fu$%ing hackers 3. whats the dumbest thing I could have done 4 identify one deeper level of dumb 5 resolve issue 6 tell boss it was hackers ala webdude
