Hey Mike,
DoS it :)
Cisco devices should have a secondary login stored locally if they can't
reach the TACACS server. You can test this my flooding the port. UDPFlood so
on. This could also test for security setting on the Cisco Gear.
- TACACS (Terminal Access Controller Access Control System) is an older
authentication protocol common to Unix networks that allows a remote access
server to forward a user's logon password to an authentication server to
determine whether access can be allowed to a given system. TACACS is an
encryption protocol and therefore less secure than the later TACACS+ and Remote
Authentication Dial-In User Service protocols. A later version of TACACS is
XTACACS (Extended TACACS). Both are described in Request for Comments 1492.
