Is there any patched/hacked IOS images floating around or is there any
way to load custom processes in a Cisco? Is there a risk that somebody
could use a Cisco for password collection or such? Should One routinely
do a checksum check on the images used in Cisco?s? 

Not everybody has pets who can learn it?s new name each 90 day. Hence
there is a risk for unauthorized access to Ones Cisco.
