As a security analyst by trade, I mistrust hackers. How do I know what back doors they would put into my router? |

| If you are that suspicious of this firmware you can download the source code and review it. It's based on Linux and is open and must be made available to the general public. Which it is.

But because the firmware is totally open, there are people that look at it to determine if anything fishy is going on.
People have been using these custom firmwares for quite some time with no complaints. In fact, most people rave about the firmware! |
