    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 386.13 / 386.13_2 is now available for AC models

    I have never used that feature but tried it just today and it worked for me. Perhaps your flash for the new firmware was buggy? Did you do a "dirty" upgrade (directly flashed the new firmware over the old firmware/settings/USB flash drive? I had been doing "dirty" upgrade(s) from several...

    Any way to overclock new RT-AC68U?

    Yes, method similar to post #16 (carefully following @ironclad's method from Post #60) is what I was using with earlier Merlin versions from a few years ago. Never confirmed over the years if the overclocking was still working. It has been years since "I set it and forgot it" (and it worked)...

    Any way to overclock new RT-AC68U?

    I know this is an old thread, but it always seemed to me that as long as the subject matter is relevant, this would provide a better, more informative way to cover a subject than endlessly starting new related threads. If I'm wrong, I will gladly change my thinking. Recently while playing...

    I am using my RT-AC86U as my primary router. No AiMesh. Running AiProtection, VPN Server. Did a "Dirty" upgrade of my RT-AC86U from 386.12_6 (working fine) to 386.13 Beta (working fine) a few days ago. Began opening Menu items and seeing what they show and render... When I open WAN >> NAT...

    Hackers Stole Access Tokens from Okta’s Support Unit

    Article doesn't seem to indicate the Okta Verify Authenticator app is impacted. Periodically as I go to various financial/health care/etc websites I have noticed a very quick redirect through an okta url. Seems that some businesses I frequent use okta to authenticate my session, if I...

    Hackers Stole Access Tokens from Okta’s Support Unit

    https://krebsonsecurity.com/2023/10/hackers-stole-access-tokens-from-oktas-support-unit/ Addendum 10/22/2023: Looks like it wasn't even Okta that discovered the breach. One of their customers found the breach which had been leveraged to attempt a breach of their own information system...

    Freeware to identify fake USB drives

    Bravo to you @L&LD! I was looking to post that information but you beat me to it. :p What I did do in addition is to go to all the links in the ValiDrive page to Amazon and blabbed via the [Report incorrect product information.] on every single device. Some are no longer in stock and others...

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 386.11 is now available for AC models

    There might be better/more secure/up to date alternatives since that particular project may be abandoned. EDIT: I misunderstood what you were saying. You are thinking of moving TO Merlin 386.xx. I should remind myself of the context of this particular thread. Nevermind, that's a good...

    How To Block Top-Level Domains?

    Yeah, Steve Gibson on his Security Now podcast agrees with you. my list now shows: address=/zip/mov/foo/nexus/dad/phd/prof/esq/boo/rsvp/page/new/app/day/dev/club/icu/store/top/xyz/# INSERT: @ColinTaylor added that omitting the "#" would result in lookups returning an NXDOMAIN rather than...

    How To Block Top-Level Domains?

    Great thread. Also had heard about Google adding several TLD's including .zip and .mov. Tried the methods shown above. After confirming I had access to cardgames.io added [address=/zip/mov/io/#] to [nano] /jffs/configs/dnsmasq.conf.add, rebooted and tried cardgames.io again... no...

    New Threats to Asus Routers, few details.

    https://www.snbforums.com/threads/logging-into-ssh-how-to-set-up-use-authorized-keys-feature.70260/ A few years ago, I wanted to experiment and set up authorized keys (which I have been running for years). Doing a search back then on snbforums there wasn't enough specific information on how...

    Skynet Skynet - Simple way to ban all countries?

    38496 IPs (+0) -- 86616 Ranges Banned (+0) || 12260 Inbound -- 28 Outbound Connections Blocked! One way you can tell if country IP ranges are being banned is by starting with a shorter list and see on the skynet UI how many "Ranges [are] Banned". At the point which word wrap fails note the...
