Modding Security & Privacy
summary
Shows how cheap off‑the‑shelf routers become full security tools by flashing OpenWrt, running an OpenVPN tunnel and forcing DNS through the tunnel so devices stop leaking queries; demo boots a battery travel router that creates a personal AP for Chromecast and hotel ethernet bypass and successfully changes geolocation (demo IP shows Toronto). Warns about a WiFi Pineapple variant with three radios and microSD capturing hundreds of SSIDs and cookies, explains PPTP weakness, limited flash (megabytes) and why SSH tunnels vs full VPN matter.
