Two years ago, something very strange happened to me while working from my home network. I was exploiting a blind XXE vulnerability that required an external HTTP server to smuggle out files, so I spun up an AWS box and ran a simple Python webserver to receive the traffic from the vulnerable server.
My Wifi AP is a Huawei EchoLife piece of shit that came with the apartment and I’ve been too lazy to get a better one because it sort of works (I have to reboot it at least once a day if I want my bandwidth to be over ~1MiB/s…), and I’m fairly sure it’s easily hackable and that there’s a nontrivial chance that it’s been owned already. This article reminded me that I’ll probably want to get to buying a better one sooner rather than later, but I honestly don’t even know which ones are good nowadays. I’d love something that runs an open firmware like OpenWRT or Tomato or whatever
