    Some time back, some one was

    Some time back, i guess it was last summer, somebody was asking for
    volunteers to test their hubs and switches for security venerabilities.
    as the time i think he wanted to put together a who's who of switches
    and hubs.
     
    Does any one recognize this , remember any urls or what happened to the
    project. I was unable to participate at the time but still like to test
    mine if they have not already been tested

    Further is any one knows of any testing tools / techniques i would also
    be very interested

    Julian
