analyzing network hardware for academic credit? nifty! How long has this been going on?

Anybody done a comb over OpenWRT similarly? There's numerous slightly customized versions of that in all sorts of hardware.

I was part of a project that did some analysis of OpenWRT firmware at scale. It was a lot of fun. The firmware is ( obviously ) publicly available. If you're interested in finding some cool results, you should try out FACT:

It's a super neat tool that does lots of interesting things.

Yea, favorite place I found OpenWRT was in DJI phantom 2 Wi-Fi Extender module. Managed to SSH into it. Hardware was not particularly interesting just cool to see OpenWRT in a widely purchased product.

I went "wait, what?" and then "well, that makes perfect sense actually"
