[GLLUG] Home Router Vulnerabilities

[Chick Tower]

I've been reading that most home routers are woefully insecure.  By 
replacing the firmware in these routers, do projects like DD-WRT and 
Tomato remove these vulnerabilities and make the routers secure? 
Granted, they might have vulnerabilities of their own, but they haven't 
been in the news for that, and I would expect open-source router 
firmware to be more secure than proprietary router firmware, whose 
manufacturers look at security as a cost item to be minimized.
