Re: SNA crackable?



We've always considered SNA to be the most reliable and secure networking
system created. But that was in the days of leased lines, and modems
connected directly to the circuits and the FEPs.

With everything running through devices which can be accessed through the
network, SNA (and everything else) is now vulnerable as was pointed out.

The article (and the presenter (presumably)) centered on SNA, but I'm sure
any protocol (or data traffic) is vulnerable using his methods.

Could SNA be cracked? (Note the proper word use here. Hackers do not do
bad. Crackers do bad.)
