It's a firewall/router package that installs on anything from a small embedded i386 board (like these <a href="http://www.pcengines.ch/" rel="nofollow">http://www.pcengines.ch/</a> ) to full servers, and it supports a large range of USB and PCI-e/PCMCIA 3G modems. It's a DIY assembly for sure, but its an alternative to the MiFi. I have a small embedded PC and a Sierra Wireless Compass 885 running as my main home network router.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[gnoahb]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 18th 2010 11:42AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Novatel's MiFi devices shown to be incredibly useful, easily hacked (video)]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/18/novatels-mifi-devices-shown-to-be-incredibly-useful-easily-hac/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/18/novatels-mifi-devices-shown-to-be-incredibly-useful-easily-hac/</guid><description><![CDATA[@gnoahb <br>Lucky perhaps you are. With Verizon I have a mifi with unlimited data. But after transferring the number off my other mifi to Google Voice, I found that I could no longer purchase unlimited data plans as an individual. The plan is now for 5 GB. So one would have to be careful in using a mifi as a main home internet source today.<br><br>It's similar to the AT&T international plans. Last summer I got unlimited data on both my iPhones at a reasonable rate. But 2 weeks later I tried to get it for my daughter's iPhone and my assistant's iPhone and AT&T no longer offered that unlimited plan.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Steve Wozniak]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 18th 2010 12:08PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Novatel's MiFi devices shown to be incredibly useful, easily hacked (video)]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/18/novatels-mifi-devices-shown-to-be-incredibly-useful-easily-hac/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/18/novatels-mifi-devices-shown-to-be-incredibly-useful-easily-hac/</guid><description><![CDATA[Another issue is that you can type 192.168.1.1 into the browser and access the Router's setup utility, once connected to the wifi.  The standard default logins work (ADMIN as user name, etc.).  A person who borrows your wifi can go in and change everything.  I change mine because I don't want the name Verizon...... on it, but security is the best reason to do it.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[junior wizzy]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 18th 2010 11:53AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Novatel's MiFi devices shown to be incredibly useful, easily hacked (video)]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/18/novatels-mifi-devices-shown-to-be-incredibly-useful-easily-hac/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/18/novatels-mifi-devices-shown-to-be-incredibly-useful-easily-hac/</guid><description><![CDATA[Seems like the attack surface is pretty narrow/thin: the hack requires the connected user to unknowingly execute it (via custom web public page) or by a hacker that must first compromise the WiFi security of the device. Of course, if you're operating the thing with open security, you're pretty much inviting mis-use by anyone in the vicinity.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[horseradish]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 18th 2010 4:32PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Novatel's MiFi devices shown to be incredibly useful, easily hacked (video)]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/18/novatels-mifi-devices-shown-to-be-incredibly-useful-easily-hac/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/18/novatels-mifi-devices-shown-to-be-incredibly-useful-easily-hac/</guid><description><![CDATA[@fatslug <br><br>How is this comment highest rank?
