Student Suspended For Bypassing Network Security

The University of Portland handed a one-year suspension to engineering major and Air Force ROTC member Michael Maass after he wrote a computer program designed to replace and improve Cisco Clean Access (CCA). Maass noticed flaws in CCA that would allow it to be bypassed in “antivirus and operating system check.”

This reminds me of Adrian Lamo, who helped expose vulnerabilities and then tell the companies about them. You would think that companies would be appreciative to these people, but I guess they are just upset they will have more work to do.
