The closeness of software, and its dangers.

Craig of /dev/ttys0 has discovered an interesting backdoor in D-Link routers; by setting your user agent to a particular string it is possible to circumvent the admin authentication challenge.

While this is just one of the cases, who knows how many devices have been “backdoored” over the year, either by manufacturers; or by telecom operators (telco branded all-in-one access points). My advice to anyone, get your own device, or flash OpenWRT on it.
