SPI Dynamics JavaScript Scanner scans your entire home network. It detects and determines your Linksys router model number. It then sends commands to the router to turn on wireless networking and turn off encryption. I tried out the proof of concept on Windows 2000 as a non-admin user running the latest Firefox. Now all three hosts exist, but due to known issues none are correctly detected. Still, this is a cool idea, and I ran the page while using a Web proxy, so all of the requests went through that device.”]
