Your Router Survived !! The GRC.Com Router Crash Test

This is really not such a big thing to celebrate, since all routers should easily survive this test. But if, on the other hand, you previously had a router with firmware that was not surviving, and now it does, and you're using this test to verify that everything is now okay, then celebration is indeed in order.

Either way, since you are reading this, your router successfully survived the receipt of a surprisingly challenging DNS resolution reply which we inadvertently discovered while developing the DNS spoofability profiling test. This reply is, distressingly, known to immediately crash a variety of apparently unrelated makes and models of consumer routers.

Of course, this test can't prove that your router might not still (somehow) be vulnerable to some other remote exploit. But it does demonstrate that it is at least not susceptible to remote exploitation through DNS reply crashing.

DNS Nameserver Spoofability Test

Near the middle of 2008, the world was informed of the existence of a recently discovered, previously unknown and very serious vulnerability that was present within the majority of the Internet's domain name system (DNS) servers. The vulnerability was considered critical because, if exploited, it could be used to redirect unsuspecting Internet users to malicious web sites without detection.

And For once ATT Is doing something right

On the page above, several nameserver “spoofability” characteristics are ranked as shown to the left. These are intended to be rough but useful “rule of thumb” appraisals based upon our evolving experience with the Internet's nameservers as well as upon what's possible, reasonable and expected. Today, about 75% of the Internet's DNS nameservers rank “Excellent.” So if one or more of your DNS nameservers do not, understanding and exploring the reason for their sub-standard security may be worthwhile.

Just Like all the other TV Providers ATT U-Verse Raise their rates on Effective February 1, 2011

Just Like all the other TV Providers Comcast, Time Warner, Directv, Dish, ATT U-Verse Raise their rates on Effective February 1, 2011

I am speculating that ATT has caved into Fox Broadcasting for the costs associated with higher programming fees.

Effective February 1, 2011, the monthly price of some U-verse TV packages will be changing.  These price adjustments reflect increased business costs, including costs associated with higher programming fees.  Customers are being notified of these changes via postcard and bill message.

 

For customers who ordered their current TV package on January 31, 2009 or earlier with U-family / U100 / U200 / U300 / U400: Effective February 1, 2011, the monthly price for existing U-family and U100 packages will increase from $49 to $54; U200 will increase from $64 to $69; U300 will increase from $82 to $84; and U400 will increase from $104 to $109. 

 

For customers who order(ed) their current TV package from February 1, 2009 through January 31, 2011 with U100 / U200 / U200 Latino / U300 / U450: Effective February 1, 2011, the monthly price for U100 will increase from $54 to $59; U200 will increase from $67 to $69; U200 Latino will increase from $77 to $79; U300 will increase from $82 to $84; and U450 will increase from $112 to $117. 

 

For customers ordering on or after February 1, 2011: The monthly price for U-family will be $54; U100 will be $59; U200 will be $69; U200 Latino will be $79; U300 will be $84; and U450 will be $117.

 

Customers on a current U-verse TV pricing promotion will continue to receive the promotional benefit until the applicable promotion ends or expires.

But at least week of Thanks Giving This year, not only do we get the free U450 Thanksgiving preview but on top of that, we also get the free HBO-Cinemax preview from the 19th to the 28th.
