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
why would I use wifi anyway? almost every consumer implantation of wifi is trivially crack able in days
>use ethernet cable
>escape route found
You probably have nothing to say either
That's fine, if it helps them keep America safe and strong.
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...
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
Prove it big boi
Tp link
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.
>having upnp enabled
>using a consumer all-in-one wi-fi router
>pretending to be a moron on the internet
I run open WRT and I also use tor.
oh, i don't think he's pretending
>mfw the only uninfected routers are Apple Airports
Dont' need to infect what the already have a backdoor to
>apple doesnt work with their biggest proprietor
(You)
I use unifi
openbsd.org
Make the switch, lads.
Kill yourself.
Ive heard that Open is ironically worse than free, how true is that?
why would you not have updated plug and play enabled?
OpenBSD's better.
Whys that?
I want to give *BSD another try.
Do you know what a microcontroller is?
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.
alrighty, thatnks lad
>Not making your own router with OpenBSD
Any reading or kits you could link me?
sounds like a fun project
PC Engines APU line is well supported by OpenBSD.
Just install pfsense and be done with it.
OpenWRT doesn't have this problem.
BSD is backdoored
I can't find good hardware for cheap that also uses little power.
epik FUD
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.
