This can also be done via CSRF to popular ISP provided home routers, home users cant bring a router back to life. Nice, now it has a name.

log in to there router strat a firmware upgrade and turn off there power half way through would that work the same way ?

Just develop the software infrastructure -- and relatively small hardware infrastructure -- to scan for unsecured devices and brick them. I wonder how many police surveillance cameras can be remotely flashed, for example?<br> Seems like a good way to spread chaos with relatively little effort or risk.

Also, since when does this not pose a threat? Correct me if I'm wrong, wouldn't complete control over the firmware offer you complete control of a device's behavior? You could peer around encryption, route packets, selectively deny access around a network, and so much more. I’ve cringed at viruses that go after your BIOS, but this is just too cool.

If say my goal is to ruin your ability to operate on the internet and I can brick all your edge routers, I'd say it works for me. Not everything has a direct profit motive.
