Thanks Scott yeah definitely I’d love to share ideas. This project is a GPL one and I’ll take contributions from anyone who can suggest ideas to improve it.

Thanks Ronald, yeah I think stronger passwords for routers are going to be needed. I’m not sure what the browsers could do to protect against this sort of thing.

Maybe the only option is to remove iframes or at least the onload handler but that would break a lot of sites. Strict checking of images could also help e.g. preventing external domains accessing private IP’s.

Glad you like the blog

Good stuff Gareth! It redirected me to my router, which is cool. I think it’s about time to have a better router password

btw I liked what you did with the blog, looks cool.
