    WHICH ONES:
    The Netgear ISDN RH348 and RT328, and possibly the Zyxel P128imh (same
    firmware).
    
    HOW:
    Door #1: SYN scan the router with nmap. It'll deny all connections to port
    		23 after that for about 5 minutes per packet. DoSing it in
    		this way is trivial. Of course spoofed packets work just
    		great.
    
    Door #2: Telnet to it. Sit there. No one else can manage it, regardless
    		of if you have authenticated or not.
    	
    Door #3: Send it tons of ICMP redirects, it'll stop routing packets at
    		all during the storm (which can be fairly light) and it'll
    		take about 30 seconds to recover. (try winfreeze.c)
    
    Door #4: Send it some contrived RIP packets with host routes for your
    		favorite people in the office set to loopback. The default
    		is to allow RIP-2B in both directions.
    
    Quick Fix: Use an ACL in the router to deny access to everywhere but your
    management station. Turn RIP off if you can, if not then try to only
    broadcast RIP, not listen. These routers don't support any other type of
    distance vector protocols, and fortunately they don't do link state
    protocols at all (ie.. no redistribution of bogus routes learned and
    trusted by any evil haxx0r on the network). That's fine with me, I doubt
    I'll be housing my ASN on an ISDN line anytime soon, but that's just me.
