Schneier on Security: Backdoors Built in to Barracuda Networks Equipment

Let me just reset the password to the factory default of 123456. Then you can get in to fix it - just reset the password when you are done.Actually, no need to get Barracuda to actually give you the password. You have physical control of the device, replace the ssh binary with one that grabs the password for you, then call Barracuda for support. Done.
