Re: WPS / Reaver

Apples and oranges. SES is from Broadcom, WPS is from Wifi Aliiance.

Did you find any flaw reported for SES? Not that there couldn't be. The WPS flaw is an unintended feedback about the PIN number***. I didn't think SES uses PINs?

*** Linksys added their own flaw... NOT being able to really disable it.



Hmmm, my bad...ack!

Not sure what to think about this since I'm not actually using the router at the moment, but it seems you are right about them being different. So, no idea if SES is also vulnerable or not without more research but it seems it isn't. Weird.

I know mine does have a "pin" mentioned in the wireless setup, but I don't use wi-fi, so I tend to ignore that stuff. I've always just disabled wi-fi on everything and used good 'ol cables.

I think I'll leave the radio off until I can get DD-WRT on there, just in case.

Well don't get any ideas with the v2 because Linksys is specifically designing the new routers to NOT be third party firmware supported, even taking it as far as writing the firmware in house instead of by an outside company.

No worries, I have checked and it's supported:

Mine is a WRT54GS v7.50, but I saw on DD-WRT forums where it has been used.

oh ok yeah the WRT54G is supported yes, I was afraid you were going to try to do this on one of the new E4200v2 routers which don't use ODM'd code lol.
