[cisco-voip] OT: best banners

[Go0se]

The following statement is from Cisco's "Guide to Harden Cisco IOS Devices"
documentation (see the section on "warning banners"):

 

"From a security point of view, rather than legal, a login banner should not
contain any specific information about the router name, model, software, or
ownership. This information can be abused by malicious users."

What does everyone's favorite banner(s) to put on Cisco IOS devices look
like?

Something fancy?

Something with lots of information?

Best legal disclaimer?


I'll start,
