A few months ago I researched how to install open-source router firmware.

I ended up chosing dd-wrt. I had some security concerns (such a technical forum stores passwords in plain text!! Does this imply anything the security of the project?) which I voiced on their forum.

Their responses shocked me: http://www.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=681593

I'm probably not going to install dd-wrt.

I had a similar issue I raised in their forums (too lazy to Google it now) where something in my configuration led to a repeatable restart of the router each time. Denial of service, thus a security vulnerability. They were rude and arrogant. I left for Tomato.

Why the downvotes? Maybe my tone was a little harsh but I think this is a legitimate concern.. :(
