You clown around with my logic which was sound, and you ignored it (why? a bit odd, are you the 5 eyes, canada?) and then you're out to make me feel worried. You're a desperate sicko, which I always thought of you. I hope my NVRAM detailing and open-source doubts is absorbed by people thinking...

Both router and PC use NVRAM to hold variables. You're telling me NVRAM in routers can't hold variables that help support vulnerabilities for other malware out there? Please....................................................................

Alright then, I'll call it other countries (i edited it), but you need a vivid real world personal experience account of what I am saying tech9... shame you push me to that. We have learnt that you are out of line yourself. That my logic holds and therefore your comedy is needless psychological...

CMOS is NVRAM, in PC malware, the variables still play a USEFUL role in the malware attack. Why are we pretending the NVRAM does nothing... like come on. Ok, I get it, malware as a core package does not live in NVRAM, if NVRAM truly is just some fancy .ini file. But it(as in yes, we must care to...

Malware definition: "software such as a virus on a computer or computer network that the user does not know about or want" https://www.oxfordlearnersdictionaries.com/definition/american_english/malware You don't think this naughty variable is not malware? A variable unknown to the user nor...

I doubt that. https://www.google.com/search?q=nvram+malware&udm=14 "nvram malware" didn't take long, as felt so obvious... I'm not even "Part of the Furniture" lol. And so variables can't be a problem? I will not be swept under the rug...

No it's not. The main way of getting malware is downloading things and executing them. So choose wisely, like, really wisely. Configure your windows, like your router. Linux is not safe, it too needs a lot of configuration. Let's not detract also, NVRAM malware is independent of operating...

When did they patch it? people may of felt they allowed something questionable through the net by this time and only now realised, like damn I installed that questionable thing before that patch! UH OH; In that case patching a vulnerability is like someone finding a hole in the wall and stopping...

Hi, I have 4 ethernet ports on my router, only 2 are in use; 1 is my PC, the other feeds a TV/Laptop (via powerline adapters). Am I able to prioritise the network traffic from the ethernet port connected to my PC over the other connected ethernet port on my router? If so, does it have...

Yeah nevermind guys, thanks for your time, it seems my internet needs it on. I'm with BT on a 60 M/B package, FTTC. When '802.1Q' is disabled my router gets no internet. My router is DSL-AX82U Asus. I thought VLAN seemed something I was not using because I read things like: Network nodes from...

I see this as enabled and regarding VLANs, I don't use one? I don't think I do, from what I read you set it up with many network devices, my setup is just 2 PC's and a smart TV with just my Asus router. I consulted with ChatGPT on what this setting does: I then ask "does this tagging add...

Ah thanks Colin. Do you reckon 'killall cfg_server' or 'killall -9 cfg_server' will work now then? Or which one would I use? Thanks.

Anyway to permanently stop my PC receiving the 7788 UDP packets then if we can't kill the process doing it?

Was there ever a command that stopped this issue with the CFG server broadcasting to UDP 7788 ? I see andrei mentions issues even after "`killall -9 cfg_server": "and the log entries show repeated spikes, one even crossing 1100 cfg_server processes!"

Thank you Dave that's cool. I'll look through it.
