[Discuss] home router hacking competition



http://arstechnica.com/security/2014/07/sohoplessly-broken-hacking-contest-aims-to-test-home-router-security/

  ...security advocates are sponsoring "SOHOpelessly BROKEN," a
  no-holds-barred router hacking competition at next month's Defcon
  hacker conference in Las Vegas. The contest will challenge attendees
  to unleash novel exploits on 10 off-the-shelf SOHO routers running
  recent firmware versions.
...
  To qualify, attacks must exploit zero-day vulnerabilities, meaning
  those that aren't already public knowledge and for which no security
  patch is available.
