I've seen a lot of talk regarding the impact on embedded devices, but how many of these actually run GNU Bash? I can't think of many embedded devices that don't use Busybox instead.
- drzaiusapelord 12y ago>I can't think of many embedded devices that don't use Busybox instead. What about all these shitty wireless routers out there? I think in the past they were QNX-based but they've long moved to being linux based. We know popular projects like dd-wrt and pfsense are probably okay (ash instead of bash), but what about the thousands of others? My own router is supplied by AT&T for its u-verse service. God knows what its running. Or all the NAS devices out there and load balancers, etc. I guess we'll find out when the whitehats are done scanning the entire internet for vulnerable hosts.
