In my ongoing efforts to find new use for an IP260, I have made some interesting discoveries, and tried (and failed) to get coreboot on to the device. The failure point on coreboot was simply that there wasn't any thing compiled for IPSO 4.2. Here, I document my efforts to compile binaries on IPSO 4.2

Ever want to wreck a $500,000 piece of equipment and not get into trouble? Who doesn't!? I recently got some additional training at work on the Checkpoint 41000 and 61000 series appliances. These are some pretty big and beefy, data center grade appliances. Well, after the training completed, we had a chance to fool around with the device, and here's what I discovered...
