Why hacking a Cisco router?

For sure you’re thinking about “why hacking a router?”
Well, the reason that I believe is the most generic, is hacking a router to use it in another attack, maybe to a bigger and more complex server.
Cisco routers are very fast, some of then run on a T1 connection, they are flexible and they can be used in DoS attacks to various systems, to have good results on your target. If you know what a router is, you should know that hundreds and hundreds of packets are “travelling” inside them; and if you have a good knowledge on routers you could intercept some of them and decode to get some important informations.
