"There's a Secret Backdoor in Netgear" Routers, ft. Wendell of Level1 Techs

Episode Title: ""There's a Secret Backdoor in Netgear" Routers, ft. Wendell of Level1 Techs"
Content: Sponsor: Thermal Grizzly Duronaut on Amazon - https://geni.us/tpgcPMw Wendell from Level1 Techs has unearthed several concerning vulnerabilities in both Netgear and TP-Link routers, in particular, exposing potential vulnerabilities that could be used as backdoors. This comes at a time of peak ID verification online, which we think isn't a mistake in its link to the recent router changes. We previously covered the router ban in the US and how it has expanded to cover more devices. Netgear was granted exemptions, but not its competitors. Wendell explores both.
