KCodes NetUSB bug exposes millions of routers to RCE attacks

Use GRC's Shie;ds Up port tester to see if your router responds to a scan of port 20005: https://www.grc.com/x/portprobe=20005

If your result is OPEN then I would strongly suggest you get the latest firmware upgrade or toss the router.

I've gotta say, a Bible signed by the actual anti-Christ, would be a hell of a collector's item.

Stealth.

Was worried that port is around what I'm using for ATCS (railroad signaling) packets.

In theory, the only routers you'd have to worry about are the ones that have a USB port for a printer, but worth checking in case the code is in there even if the port is not.
