VPN Cisco Client

Cisco itself does not make the client publicly available, and if you are like me, the IS dudes at work do not want to hear anything about linux. If you are in a more modern environment, the client can apparently be fetched there (requires Cisco.com login with encryption entitlement): http://www.cisco.com/kobayashi/sw-center/vpn/client/

Fortunately, numerous universities have the linux client on their ftp site, A quick visit to your favorite search engine should allow you to locate a few of them. I have no idea of the legal issues, so make sure you have the right to use this software.

Please be careful since you are going to use this software to connect private networks. At least get the files from several independent places and compare them to check that they are the same. A binary comparison with cmp should not return any difference.

The main VPN client page is at http://www.cisco.com/go/vpnclient
