The Blast-RADIUS attack breaks the RADIUS protocol that is used in various WPA-Enterprise protocols when it runs over plain UDP by attacking the use of the broken MD5 hash within the RADIUS protocol. The website for this attack is at https://www.blastradius.fail/ . News stories that report on...

Actually, Asus's flagship router is the ROG Rapture GT-BE98 Pro as seen in https://rog.asus.com/networking/rog-rapture-gt-be98-pro/ as of this writing.

The idea about the different version numbers interested me. When I looked up the latest firmware version number for my GT-AX11000, it is 3.0.0.4.388_24328. The last firmware version for the RT-AC68U is 3.0.0.4.386_51668. When I looked up many other current but slightly older Asus routers' latest...

After posting this thread, I found that there is a duplicate at https://www.snbforums.com/threads/gt-ax11000-new-firmware-2023-02-07.83430/ that fails to list the version number in the title and fails to use the Release prefix, so I missed that when I created this thread.

When I compared the release notes to the release notes on several other routers which got patches for the Cyclops Blink router malware, I noticed that points 1 through 5 in these release notes have the same fixes in the firmware that was released to block the Cyclops Blink malware on the routers...

Then should a moderator move that thread to the ASUSWRT - Official forum and then lock this thread as a duplicate? This forum is the one meant for Asus official firmware, so I thought that a thread belonged in this forum and did not search the less specific forums.

Release notes from Asus firmware download site:

First, I noticed that a newer generation of Broadcom router SoCs have a flow cache and a Runner network packet processor according to several posts on the SmallNetBuilder forums. While the Runner network packet processor is obviously a hardware packet processor, what does the flow cache do? Does...

See section 3.1 on the bottom of page 7 (according to the page number in the page) or page 11 (based on the page number that the reader software provides) in the report for how the kernel version is determined. It states that a regular expression is used to find version numbers in the non-text...

So how do buyers know which Asus models are the esoteric and/or EOL models which will likely get shortchanged for firmware updates when we need to buy a router? I know that Asus puts out an end-of-life list https://www.asus.com/event/network/EOL-product/ , but I would not know where to find a...

The report has a link to the list of routers investigated in footnote 1 on page 2 of the report. The link points to https://github.com/fkie-cad/embedded-evaluation-corpus/blob/master/2020/FKIE-HRS-2020.md . The page on GitHub lists all of the models of the routers tested, the firmware SHA-256...
