   lol no surprise. They also copied the Spam Cube (www.spamcube.com) product and called it "securespot" Its funny how tech companies are getting away with this stuff and now theyre answering options probes, SEC inquiry anyone?

   kinda makes me glad that i have a linksys WRT54GS with DD-WRT firmware instead of being forced to use the manufacturer's firmware, which more often than not is way out of date. then again, most likely you can partially avoid the exploit by turning on AP isolation if you have wireless. if you allow wrongdoers to connect via ethernet to your router.... thats your problem looks like ill have to tell my friend about this... he has a 604 i think.

   I have 624, with wireless disabled.604 isn't wireless AFAIK so the vulnerability isn't a big problem unless he downloads anything.

   [b]Originally posted by DragonMaster:[/b][quote]I have 624, with wireless disabled.604 isn't wireless AFAIK so the vulnerability isn't a big problem unless he downloads anything.[/quote]well, the article states its only a LAN-side exploit, so wether he downloads anything or not is irrelevant. the problem is that he allows somewhat malicious individuals (his other friends) to go on his network without any sort of protection on his computer or other computers already on the network. luckily its not wireless as you said, but in this case it doesnt matter since he lets morons on his network who like to cause trouble. in a way i hope they DONT fix it, because that just makes people all the more willing to find a way to force linux on d-link routers like dd-wrt did with the wxworks versions of the linksys WRT54G/GS.

   For anyone interested, many D-Link products received a firmware update today, including the WBR-2310 which attempts to fix this exploit.I do have to say, though, that anyone dumb enough to let someone on their LAN that would do something like this deserves for it to happen to them.
