      Hey all, sorry if this isn't the best place for this…just wondering if the pfSense devs could take a peek at the Equation Group Toolkit and see if anything in there affects pfSense either directly or indirectly...

      My concern is based on a series of articles recently (most recent one):

        I haven't seen the tools myself, only stories about them. I'd like to get my hands on them to look them over, but I'm skeptical of them in general.

        From the details I have seen they all seemed very vendor-specific, targeting Cisco and such. Given the vastly different architectures and how different services operate, it's unlikely there is any cross-over into something that would affect pfSense.

          There is nothing in the files released so far that has any direct bearing on Pfsense.

          All the expolits relate to Cisco PIX, ASA, Fortinet, Juniper.
