Articles laud a particular team at a #dotCon for finding vulnerabilities in a #modem.

The funny thing is the #vulnerability appears to be in the #firmware and not the modem per se. The firmware is likely #propietary, so this is *not* not the great success story for the dotCon as the #securityTheatre-hungry talking heads may suggest.

Modems will be safer when they are fully #FOSS

Thanks FSFE, for the newsletter.

Are FSFE aware of any movement in Australia in the realm of #ModemFreedom?

We are hoping to connect people to motivated and ethical providers of ModemFreedom but have had very limited success as of late.

Open question. Is #routerFreedom possible in Australia?

Has anyone in #Australia been able to run the #NBN (NationalBroadbandNetwork) through devices they own outright, while also using #FOSS firmware such as #OpenWRT.

If so we'd love to know your experience.

How long have you been running it? Is it difficult to maintain? Etc.
