Advanced CIA firmware has been infecting Wi-Fi routers for years

I haven't tried it too much work. But openBSD is solidly crazy. They sacrifice performance for security and security is always the first thing on their mind and anything else are distant second. They code review too.

This article gives the manufacturers involved:

"Asus, Belkin, Buffalo, Dell, DLink, Linksys, Motorola, Netgear, Senao, and US Robotics"

I use a TP-Link router, so I guess my router can be hacked by the Chinese govt rather than the US.
