In the meantime, I've been just busy enjoying the summer, and reading LOTS of manuals, and books, from everything JavaScript to using the Processing language to interface with virtual COM port data. Also, a little bit of driving around town has led me to a (hardly) epic discovery. It's about the belkin router crashing exploit that I told you guys about a while ago, where, when you had access to an unsecured belkin router, you just enter a formatted URL that crashes the login program, and ultimately the entire router. Bye-bye internet.
What I didn't know is that this exploit pretty much works on any belkin router, because the problem is that they use the same web interface on nearly all their routers, including the basic programs that come with it. A flaw in proprietary coding. So, to a certain extent, this is a pretty big thing, because people could just go wardriving around, crashing any unsecure, or poorly secured (Who uses WEP anymore???) Belkin routers ( For goodness sake, don't use the default router name!).
