I just learned after, oh, fifteen years at least working with Cisco gear there is a TCL shell lurking that is built into IOS.

Really:

rtpnxxxxx#tclsh
rtpnxxxxx(tcl)#puts "Hello, World!\n"
Hello, World!

rtpnxxxxx(tcl)#

Is anyone using this? If so, for what? Would it be possible to open a socket on a IOS device, listen for a SSH connection and dump info back and forth?

I'm looking for a problem to match this solution.

Greg
