is this backdoor only served up on the wlan or is it also exposed to the internet?
fortunately, on my wag160n it doesn't seem exposed to the internet

#13TIL: Some people know a lot more than me about hacking. That PDF was interesting, but I only understood a small fraction of it.
Can you tell me which parts you couldn't get? I want to test my understanding - I'll see if I can explain it to you.

#15I hacked my Fritz!Box (yeah, a bad name for a german router) and I'm entirely sure that it has a backdoor integrated too. That's why I wiped and flashed it with an alternative image. That and the Telecom's Speedport router are the most popular routers by far in Germany. And both have backdoors, I know that other router manufacturers also integrate backdoors from a source who works at such a company. A friend can also…
Please provide evidence for the alleged backdoor in AVM Fritz!Box routers. Being sure is not convincing … I don't see why you had to hack an AVM router either – you can easily install other firmware and Fritz!Box routers can be directly bought anyway.

i think it's kinda convenient for companies that they can now blame the nsa for everything. i really think a lot more companies put backdoors into their software without external pressure(sometimes not intentional, just because of laziness or stupidity)

#18While interesting, I wouldn't say this is news. It has been known for quite a while.

Could you describe the whole reversing process in a bit more detail? Binary goes in, understanding comes out, you can't explain that (well I hope someone can).

Can you just do an "Explain like I'm five" please.
