This should almost certainly replace the current HFET link, it's much more informative than either the HFET or CyberNews articles.

- bmcn2020 6y agoHi there, as I mentioned above: That original research only looked at one Wavlink router. This is the extended research with the help of two other researchers. And of course the attempted exploit from a malicious IP address which was detected only recently
- bmcn2020 6y agoClee worked with Carta and Sasnauskas for months on this updated research so it's a bit unfair to imply it provides no value
- tomku 6y agoHey, author of the article that's now linked at the top of this page, nice to meet you. You wrote a fine article. You should be proud of it. I was wrong about which article should have replaced the blogspam link that originally graced HN, and your sibling comment to this one ("Hi there, ...") did a great job of explaining why with patience and politeness. The mods clearly agreed and made the right call. This comment I'm replying to, though... you don't need to do this. If it had been the only reply you posted, I would have come away from our exchange with a very different opinion of you, and that would've been a bit unfair. Just something to think about for the future.
- bmcn2020 6y agoHi, sorry about that. I agree
