[Discuss] Dan Geer's Blackhat talk, iGuardian "enterprise-grade" home router

[tmetro+blu at gmail.com (Tom Metro)]

Dan Geer, an occasional poster here, apparently gave a talk at Blackhat
recently, which was covered on This Week in Enterprise Tech episode #105:

(His segment begins at offset 25:30.)

A point of his talk is that small office/home routers are critical
infrastructure. He hits some of the same themes as I've heard in Jim
Gettys' talks on home routers.


The same episode also covers the iGuardian Kickstarter project that aims
to produce a $150 enterprise-grade home router that includes deep packet
inspection and regular updates:

Probably a good approach for non-technical people looking for a turn-key
solution.
