The security situation with consumer routers/modems is atrocious,
bordering on what should be criminal liability for the companies
producing them. Thoughtlessly mashing a bunch of random open source
programs and quick & dirty CGI admin scripts into an embedded Linux
image is unacceptable for devices that will be sold as network gateways
in the millions of units.
A farce soon to be repeated, only much worse, with the "Internet of Things".
