Thanks for the speedy info. The guys on dd-wrt reckon you may be OK if you implemented strong password. Maybe add a the relevant IP/DNS to a blacklist & remove all tools to download code, like wget, "busybox ftpget" & tftp. Disable ssh & access from outside (besides via VPN). http://www.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=49370&highlight=psyb0t I expect we'll see a patch soon (considering how soon a patch cam out after the "Kaminski bug") - J
