I recently aquired a Cisco ASA 5505 and am wondering how to get the ASDM software off of the ASA device? Do I use a console cable? or plug directly in? Which port? Are there default passwords? Also is there another way to connect once it is configured ssh? Does it use the default port?

Hardware-based firewalls provide more sophisticated protection for inbound and outbound traffic than the simple Windows software firewall or the basic NAT firewalls found in routers. These devices implement techniques such as stateful packet inspection, deep packet inspection, and content filtering; and may include built-in antivirus and anti-malware protection.
