...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.
