Embedded Linux distributions make it possible to run Linux on pretty much anything nowadays. Watches, PDAs, and even certain coffee machines are running stripped-down versions of the penguin. It comes as no surprise that Linksys has decided to run Linux on its routers and switches.
A great decision, but Linksys products are designed for the consumer and small business. The products don't come with any way to tap into the underlying Linux shell.
In this hack I'll show you how to overwrite your Linksys router firmware with a new instruction set that allows you to take full control of your mini Linux powerhouse.
