If you're running in bridging mode, your router is not vulnerable to anything. You can't give it an ip in bridging mode, it simply decapsulates the data the comes in and feeds it out the Ethernet port. The only thing you're vulnerable to in briding mode is other people on your same segment being able to see your windows shares if you have any, and sniffers will sometimes pick up interesting information, especially if you get bored and use arpspoof from the dsniff suite of tools. :) I highly recommend this fun and educational pastime.

I'm certainly no CBOS junkie - I didn't even bother to upgrade from 2.3.something until Sunday. So is there any thing my bridged modem *is* vunerable to? If it isn't ever internet addressable I can't see that joe-random rooted box can even touch the thing and it shouldn't matter what CBOS rev I'm at. Or am I totally off base on this?
