Cisco Systems

Cisco has been in the news a lot. A security researcher at ISS quit his job to give a presentation on a vulnerability that exist in Cisco IOS. It is possible to do a buffer overflow or heap overflow, two different types on memory attacks. This was given at the black Hat briefings in Las Vegas. Both ISS and Cisco are suing this researcher. (Freedom of Speech?) Cisco was aware of this flaw.

RFID ?

Radio Frequency Identification in my opinion is a violation of privacy. It uses radio waves to identify merchandise or people. Most vendors do not deactivate it when you purchase a product,so your product is basically ready to transmit the information embedded on the chip. They have antenna's on them to transmit the signals to a reader that converts radio waves into digital information.That can then be processed by a computer. RFID has been around since 1970 RFID has problems around metal and water.
