Yep, I have a 2wire doorstop, it's useless as that as well, doesn't mass enough! Anyone managed to do anything useful with them?

I suppose the other thing about these vulnerabilities is that you need to have the configuration software on your compromised PC, otherwise how is it going to change the settings? -- 'ooroo stinga...(:)-) --------------------------------------------------- Email: stinga@xxxxxxxxxxxxx o You need only two tools. o ///// A hammer and duct tape.
