YOU CAN'T ESCAPE THE BOTNET
>Advanced CIA firmware has been infecting Wi-Fi routers for years: 'Home routers from 10 manufacturers, including Linksys, DLink, and Belkin, can be turned into covert listening posts that allow the CIA to monitor and manipulate incoming and outgoing traffic and infect connected devices.'
That's fine, I've got nothing to hide
>>60977783
why would I use wifi anyway? almost every consumer implantation of wifi is trivially crack able in days
>>60977783
>use ethernet cable
>escape route found
>>60977790
You probably have nothing to say either
>>60977783
That's fine, if it helps them keep America safe and strong.
>>60977841
they probably already infecting ethernet too, aren't ethernet/nic vendor nowadays making the same chipset for wifi router? qualcomm, realtek cisco, dlink, intel etc...
>>60977823
B...but what about WPA2?

>Advanced CIA firmware has been infecting Wi-Fi routers for years
HOLY SHIT
CYBERPUNK IS NOW
so what now?
>not flashing libre firmware and setting it to read-only
I run openwrt
>>60977823
Prove it big boi
Tp link
>>60977783
idk why anyone would keep the shitty obsolete original firmware on those routers when openwrt exists. most stock firmwares are still using linux 2.6 that has been eol many years now.

>pretending to be a moron on the internet
>>60977783
I run open WRT and I also use tor.
>>60978561
oh, i don't think he's pretending
>mfw the only uninfected routers are Apple Airports
>>60978699
Dont' need to infect what the already have a backdoor to

>>60977783
I use unifi

Make the switch, lads.
>>60977790
Kill yourself.
>>60980416
Ive heard that Open is ironically worse than free, how true is that?
>>60978561
why would you not have updated plug and play enabled?
>>60980473
OpenBSD's better.
>>60980534
Whys that?
I want to give *BSD another try.
>>60978397
Do you know what a microcontroller is?
>>60980553
The devs dogfood it. The only reasons I'd use FreeBSD over OpenBSD are if I was using it for an NAS or had a Nvidia GPU.
>>60980580
alrighty, thatnks lad
>Not making your own router with OpenBSD
>>60980593
Any reading or kits you could link me?
sounds like a fun project
>>60980620
PC Engines APU line is well supported by OpenBSD.
>>60980620
Just install pfsense and be done with it.

>>60977783
OpenWRT doesn't have this problem.
>>60980593
BSD is backdoored
>>60980819
I can't find good hardware for cheap that also uses little power.

upnp is a mechanism for applications to request of the gateway that they receive a forwarded port. Which for most gateways also implies a pass through the firewall, since IPv4 NAT and a firewall produce similar effects here.
Any mechanism for doing that is going to be a security hole. Inherently. By definition. It's not like the gateway knows whether the app making the request is a video game or ransomware. But since 99% of end users are too stupid and lazy to learn about things like NAT and firewalls, upnp and things like it will continue to be demanded, and people who leave them turned on will continue to get exploited.
This is a case where it's very sharp that you can have security or you can have convenience, but not both.
