NSA ANT By TAO
(Redirected from Cisco ANT TAO)
How does the NSA TAO team backdoor Cisco VPN's, firewall's and security appliances. A friendly hacker donated a Cisco pix 515e to play with analyzing how the TAO might backdoor this system. Research focuses on dumping BIOS binary, developing persistent backdoor for the BIOS or other components and provide way on how to detect possible backdoors.
