  • This problem is only worsening. I recommend running nmap vulners or flan on a cron at home against your network.

    I found multiple CVEs in my brand new (2023) router. They were running old versions of dropbear SSH, dnsmasq that had vulns.

    Most routers are just cobbled together from years-old OpenWRT releases or worse.

    I also found vulns on a brother printer, a smart plug, wifi-enabled air filter.

    Everything in your house that has wifi probably has a vuln on it.
