Here, GNU/Linux experienced user but newbie about ADSL modems. If one wish to choose an ADSL modem with security in mind... a router one (with NAT).
Imagine that one hack into de modem itself, as the admin. Imagine that behind the modem is a GNU/Linux box as the default destination of all packets. The S.O. is tight, updated and well pose firewall. Two NICs, a second level of NAT, etc... What the intruder still could do to harm the LAN ? _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it. Charter: http://lists.netsys.com/full-disclosure-charter.html
