Filled the CAM tables on all Cisco devices (old Cat4ks that have been on death row for a few years now), wreaking havoc for some, while the HP switches just chugged right along. Having part of your network fall over dead while the rest is seemingly unaffected actually makes debugging harder.

Update: That’s right, it wasn’t part of the attack after all. Somewhere in Packard a student plugged something into the net that should never have been connected, a NetFPGA set up to manufacture MAC addresses. Don’t ask for any details, they’re keeping the student’s identity from me for some reason. :)

He is definitely one of the more popular CS faculty lunch speaker, getting nearly as much turn out as the Asmio demo.

Sorry, nothing newsworthy in this shot, just proof that I was there for the first public demo, for when Ge is famous. :)

Ge is Assistant Professor at CCRMA (Department of Music), and also of Computer Science, by Courtesy.
