OK, so > you're peeved because the guy talked about WRT54G and didn't cover Kamikazi. Something else that one needs to remember is the thing called "lead time". If you were to write a book today about the latest exploit on the net, we still wouldn't see it in the bookstores until after Christmas. Writing a book is a *lot* of job. If you checked their website, and listen to their podcast, you will notice that when they were writing the book the Kamakazi release was still SVN-only and writing anything about such software on something that is created by dead trees is a waste of resources (the OpenWRT team could have changed the whole build system by the time the book went out to the shops). Yes, I may be a fan boy of the show (did even sponsor them with some cool custom laptop skins), but it does not change the fact that print media is a slow moving beast. -- http://michaelboman.org - Security Blog & Wiki _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
