Re: Home routers still vulnerable? said by ISurfTooMuch:Firmwares? What are firmwares? Never heard of 'em. Yeah, I agree with you, but this is the reaction you're going to get from many people. They can't even secure their routers. They don't have a clue what firmware is or how to update it. People are getting better about securing their routers. i used to have 6 open routers avail to me, now only have two. it'll get even better as pay ber byte comes.

| I'm seeing more secured as well, but I chalk that up to living near lots of college students who are more tech-savvy. There are plenty of open ones out there, though. I have a friend whose WRT54G occasionally craps out on him. Instead of just rebooting it, he just disconnects it and plugs his cable modem directly into his desktop. I usually discover this when I take my laptop over there and discover there's either no signal or no Internet access. So there's still a learning curve for many people. |
