D-Link won’t fix critical bug in 60,000 exposed EoL #modems

Attackers (unauthenticated) can modify any user’s password via a privileged API, in addition to OS command injection and path traversal capabilities.

This highlights the risk of continuing to use EOL networking devices. These vulnerabilities will remain unpatched by the vendor.

one of the best #books i own is @matt's Incredible Doom mini-comics - the story is about teenagers caught up in the wonders of #modems and the #bbs days

it's one of those passion projects that took years to get to the finish line, and the final product is a work of art. each issue even has a feelie (technically a "browsie") in it, for those of you familiar with #infocom games

he mentioned that he's only got a handful of the physical mini-comics left, which can't be reprinted due to publisher considerations.

if you were planning on grabbing a set - now's the time.

Not only 2 modems, but 2 modem posts! Here's the inside of the Microcom Deskporte FAST modems from the last post.

Inside of the plastic case is coated in a brown conductive paint. The modem chipset is a Rockwell 288DPi, using what appears to be a Zilog Z80 to manage everything. The main difference between them seems to be where the components have been sourced from.

So since I missed #ModemMonday last week - Here's two modems!
This time, they're Microcom Deskporte FAST modems. One branded by Banksia (local Australian distributor for Microcom) and one only branded Microcom. I suspect the Banksia branded one is slightly newer, but not by a lot. The Banksia is marked "FAST +" while the Microcom is just marked "FAST" with a "tm" after it. I think this was simply a branding thing between these modems, though it's possible one of them has later firmware or different internals.
These modems supported MNP from level 2 right up to level 10. They even had a parallel interface, in case the serial interface wasn't up to the task of keeping up with the modem, though you'd use the serial port to do things like dialling, etc.

dialup.world

#introductions We cobbled together a free-to-use dialup ISP out of trash and spare parts. dialup.world is composed of four modems for simultaneous connections delivering speeds up to 33.6K.

This is currently a bunch of USR Sportsters hooked into Linux, but we are currently working on setups with Cisco gear, as well as some musings in 56K, other weird dialup appliances, and retro networking.

We also supply dialup access to the WebTV Redialed project (webtv.zone/) which means if you dig your WebTV out of storage and hook it into a phone line, it *just works* with no modification needed on your part!

I invite you to watch our bad ideas become reality.
