Hi everybody...
After a discussion with a friend of mine, I argued that it was
possible to change the behaviour of a firmware, so that an attacker
could put a backdoor inside, for instance :S...
Perhaps I spoke a bit quickly, 'cause now I feel a bit lost in
modifying the firmware :(.
Basically, every access point proposes you to update its firmware...
Most of the fime, these firmware are sold in a *.bin format. After
having tried to search for relevant strings in the bin, disassembling
it and loosing time, I'm still at the same point :(.
Do you have any experience in firmware modification ? Do you know in
which language firwares are written ? Maybe tryin' a decompilation
could help me...
Thanks a lot
Norbert
