Denial of Service

Just wondering after listening to the Kim Kommando Show today if anyone experienced either on their system or a client's, a denial of service (DoS) attack successfully executed because of not updating router firmware? I try to leave computers as "clean" as possible for the typical user, but have never bothered updating their firmware before departing.

Hi mate,

From memory, the last software update I did was to prevent ntp amplification attacks (even though it wasn't happening at the time) on client (enterprise) routers.

On home routers (if that's what you're talking about), the number of attack vectors are lower so it's not something I would be overly concerned about to be honest.
