    Best router ever, hands down.

    Why doesn’t the lamp flash with activity? I would’ve expected at least that.

  • D says:

    that would be too distracting..

  • Dave says:

    Yeah, that or cause epileptic fits.

  • kforeman says:

    does that stop most case modders? i think not.

  • john says:

    yeah, thought of that, woudln’t be too difficult since the LEDs are already there for network traffic. (can’t control pins directly on the board) anyway, it would drive me insane, I actually use it as a normal lamp.

    I actually thought this was a pretty interesting hack. My wife is a potter, for real that is what she does for a living, this gave us alot of ideas.
    She hates having all types of hardware hanging all around. This gave us the idea of “hiding” some of the hardware we have.

    Am I the only one who thought of the hacker term “honeypot” when I viewed the title and read the short article?

    Pretty sure that was the point… A double meaning. Honeypot in a honeypot lamp. Thus the fakesmb honeypot program.
