Ever wondered why your Zigbee network sometimes acts up? 🧐 The routing mechanism plays a crucial role! In my latest blog post, I explain the difference between Table Routing and Source Routing in ZHA – and when to use which for better performance.

@santiago

I understand.

I think #p2p communication apps like #Briar, capable of #MeshNetworking, are important in this context.

Especially in this era of widespread internet shutdowns.

And of frequent climate-change-induced disasters that destroy telecom and internet networks in the affected areas.

Another point: one can pull #Briar over bluetooth from a neighbouring device and install it, without need of an internet connection or even local wifi. Perceptive design choice, I think.

Linksys Velop routers send Wi-Fi passwords in plaintext to US servers

Link
📌 Summary:

根據Testaankoop的調查,發現兩款Linksys路由器正在以明文的方式將Wi-Fi登入資訊傳送到位於美國的亞馬遜(AWS)伺服器,包括Linksys Velop Pro 6E和Velop Pro 7這兩款mesh路由器。這個漏洞讓攻擊者能夠攔截傳輸過程中的Wi-Fi網路名稱(SSID)和密碼,從而進行竊聽和惡意攻擊。儘管Testaankoop多次向Linksys提出警告,但該公司並未採取有效措施,直到Testaankoop再次聯絡後才進行了更新,但仍未解決問題。這個問題可能源於Linksys固件中使用的第三方軟體,但無論如何,這種漏洞仍然存在,即使是最新的Linksys 7 Pro,都無法避免。研究人員建議消費者不要購買這些路由器,因為存在嚴重的網路入侵和資料損失的風險。

@shoq @Karoli If you live somewhere that doesn't have completely fucked urban density, #MeshNetworking with Yggdrassil and online gateways is an option. (Guess what suburbs also promote?)

#P2P #AsynchronousCommunication options like #Briar, #NNCP and others also become very relevant. It is also quite possible to setup #NetNews servers like #INN to operate in such an environment, as it is what it was designed for in the first place (back when phone calls were the primary networking option).

There are also low bitrate radio-based networking options available like #LoRaWAN (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LoRa#LoRaWAN), directional wifi relays (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long-range_Wi-Fi) would be usable in rural areas (and could be used to setup #Yggdrassil nets, again, and with very good bandwidth) and DIY #FSO (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free-space_optical_communication) can achieve bitrates competitive with rural internet: #RONJA (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RONJA)

Definitely it requires dropping a lot of the current high-bandwitdh & low-latency.

If you own your home and have the right to do minor renovations on it, do consider becoming a relay for various meshnets and other P2P and/or asynchronous communication options.
