Of course, the details will get published. I was just hoping someone could
help me be more efficient in finding the details. The routers at my ISP (my
husband's company) aren't Cisco but we will be affected by attempts with
these packets. What do the packets look like? What should we be on the
lookout for? We will probably have to program our IDS to protect ourselves.

For anyone new to the thread, I'm talking about the packets mentioned in
this Cisco advisory:

Cisco Security Advisory: Cisco IOS Interface Blocked by IPv4 Packet

Thanks,
