this is a pretty good reversing article, with an interesting heavily constrained exploit: it attacks a Harvard architecture microcontroller, which rules out most of the exploitation techniques we know and love.
at this point, it should be obvious to everone that the more parts you pack into a device (because a router that is also an STB is such a great idea!), the bigger the attack surface. what is more interesting for me is that it's an issue you exploit through radio, and that's because I've been playing with radio hacking myself and I've been hearing about it more and more. I think radio is the next big thing: last year Bluetooth and now ZigBee. what will be next? I hope GSM.
