The hatch blast doors from “lockedown” revealed a lot about the island. Cerberus is mentioned several times and one can only assume that they are referring to black smoke ‘monster’.
Here are some of the mentions of the Cerberus system:
Primary nexus of cerberus related activity
Alleged location of #4 - The Flame but highly unlikely due to Cerberus activity
Ca**ceus station believed to have been abandoned due to A.H/MDG incident of 1985 (or) Possible catastrophic malfunction of Cerberus system.

According to Wikipedia
Cerberus or Kerberos (Greek Κέρβερος, Kerberos, demon of the pit), was the hound of Hades—a monstrous three-headed dog (sometimes said to have 50 or 100 heads) with a snake for a tail and innumerable snake heads on his back.
He guarded the gate to Hades (the Greek underworld) and ensured that the dead could not leave and the living could not enter. His brother was Orthrus. He is the offspring of Echidna and Typhon.

[…] Eko’s run in with the “black smoke“ […]
[…] Persephone isn’t the first reference to a greek myth. Earlier this season we saw the Swan’s blast door mention a cerberus system. The figure of Persephone is a well-known one today. Her story has great emotional power: an innocent maiden; a mother’s grief at the abduction and the return of her daughter. It is also cited frequently as a paradigm of myths that explain natural processes, with the descent and return of the goddess bringing about the change of seasons. […]
If you type cerberus system on google you get all these websites saying something to do with robots. If you type it in on images, the first picture is by John Valentino II and Johnathon Clerk. It says ‘The Cerberus System: Using Artificial Vision and Robot Navigation’. Mean anything to anyone?
If you go to the main site where that image came from, you can find a menu of the left. If you click on ‘The Chimera Project’ it will bring you to a page with information about ‘The Cerberus System.’ You can even find a full size page view of that image where everything is visible.
Anybody seen War of the Worlds? Not Spielberg’s OTT version, the old version? Anybody read the book? Then you’ll know that BLACK SMOKE was used as a primary chemical weapon in the Martian Invasion. The plot thickens…
http://www.endicott-studio.com/rdrm/forcaduc.html… If im not mistaken i believe this is the origanal meaning for the dark monster… only that originally its intent was to help people heal… but due to the incedent it must have malfunctioned causing it to due the opposite… kill… we see examples of this in many different scenes in the show… when mr eko confronted the monster it seemed to be reading his mind like an x-ray but because it malfunctioned it was looking for a weakness… not to fix but to exploit… finding nothing but fierce command and bravery the monster turned and fled…. the same could be said for lockes encounter… only that the seconed time he had been afraid for the others… which in many cultures is a weakness…. please look into this and tell me what you think
