Calling All Hackers: Help Us Build an Open Wireless Router
https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2014/07/building-open-wireless-router

    The software aims to do several things that existing routers don't
    do well—or don't do at all. We are beginning a journey that we hope
    will attract supporters and fellow travelers to help reach the
    following goals:

    • Allow small business and home users to easily enable an open
    network, so guests and passersby can get an Internet connection if
    they need one, while keeping a password-locked WPA2 network for
    themselves and their friends or coworkers.

    • Let you share a bounded portion of your bandwidth on the open
    network, so guest users cannot slow down your Internet connection or
    use a large portion of your monthly quota.

    • Provide state-of-the-art network queuing, so most users can expect
    an improved Internet experience—especially with latency-sensitive
    applications—compared to what commonly available consumer grade
    routers are delivering today.

    • Offer a minimalist, secure, and elegant Web user interface to set
    up and configure the router. Advanced, non-minimalist administrative
    options are accessible by SSH.

    • Advance the state of the art in consumer Wi-Fi router security and
    begin turning back the growing tide of attacks against them. Most or
    all existing router software is full of XSS and CSRF
    vulnerabilities, and we want to change that.

    • Include a secure software auto-update mechanism. In addition to
    using HTTPS, firmware signatures and metadata are fetched via Tor to
    make targeted update attacks very difficult.
