Fw: Cisco Sanitization

Or why not just paste a REALLY large bogus config in there to max-out
the NVRAM chip?  That's the one that's harder to move to a PC.

On the flash, moving to a PC is easier (at least if we're talking about
newer devices using PCMCIA!)  :)

I suppose that everyone's level of detail is somewhat equivalent to the
level of paranoia or level of desired protection along the way!

Does anyone have a guide that includes sanitization information for all Cisco devices(at least switches, routers, IDS's, and ASA 5500 Series) so I don't have to recreate the wheel?
