Vulnerability Development: Re: CR and Cable Modems

["big bon" <vulndev () hotmail com>]

If your cable modem has a real ip address and not a private range ip 
performance could drop due to the scans.  My surfboard does not obtain a 
true ip, mine is something like 192.168.1.5 so the only way it could be 
scanned would be internally.
