Comment on Remote code execution in Asus router firmwareparent

Comments

I haven't tried that one. I'm using asuswrt-merlin [0], which is another fork based on the official Asus sources.

It's very similar to the original firmware, but with a few extra bug fixes and features. Asus occasionally backports some of the bug fixes to the official firmware. The vulnerable feature has been disabled in the latest version. [1]

+1 for asuswrt-merlin. It's the Cyanogenmod of the router world: the stability and speed of officially supported drivers, with the added flexibility and freedom of a custom firmware.

I wouldn't say its quite as stable, but it is close.

That doesn't seem to be on the RT-56U which the OP has.
