Re: Millions of home routers vulnerable...um ok.... My router is vulnerable.  It is an old Linksy...BEFSR41 version 3. Ver 4 is on the list so I'm sure version 3 is also vulnerable.

| If I recall correctly, you are running some sort of Beta firmware in your Linksys router, so you may or may not have the same vulnerabilities as a "stock" BEFSR41 v3. At this point, Linksys probably doesn't even remember that they had this firmware, so I wouldn't expect them to look it up for you and tell you how vulnerable you are. |

Yes, I use the "latest" beta firmware (European firmware). It was never offered by Linksy in the USA (they told me American customers were too ignorant to use it...that made no sense as firmware is firmware. If you have downloaded and flashed one beta version of the firmware you can sure do another).
If it depends on cracking your password (which is how I read the exploit) then I am not vulnerable. I can't even crack the password! That is due to a Linksy bug they knew about and refused to fix and didn't even bother to really explain it to the users so we could avoid the bug. I have a random password that I can't crack and I don't think anyone could.
