Grugq, Marc Rogers, and I have shown a (much more functional, actually secure) version of this, called PORTAL, at a couple conferences this summer, and will have a retail version on Amazon by December -- none of this presale BS.
Free downloads of the firmware for some of the most commonly available routers out there, and sold at cost ($20-25).
Isn't security so complex that it's unrealistic to expect "some smart hacker" to figure out the issues?
My understanding, at least from reading tptacek's posts here, is that you need a very qualified team of experts to tackle the difficult problems in the security field, and then have their research findings and inventions validated and vetted by the security community as a whole.
