System update
June 6, 2014A new system update will be installed on routers Turris in the following hour. Besides an update of the OpenSSL library announced yesterday, there are also several bugfixes, a new version of the libnetconf library, which should improve speed of the user interface Foris and an improved mechanism for detection of usability of DNS resolvers for forwarding.
New vulnerability in OpenSSL
June 5, 2014A new vulnerability called the CCS injection vulnerability (CVE-2014-0224) was discovered in the OpenSSL library. This vulnerability makes it possible to decrypt communication and tamper with the content.
In project Turris, we have already updated OpenSSL on all our servers, which is the most important step to protect our users, and are preparing an update for the routers which should be available tomorrow. Because an update was not yet present in the OpenWrt repositories, we have submitted a patch.

Router Turris network statistics
May 30, 2014A new section dedicated to statistics was added to the website of project Turris. It shows data collected on individual routers summed together to form a global overview.
At present, you will find for example comparison between IPv4 and IPv6 traffic, or information about packets rejected by the firewall. For these, we show an overview of port most connected to, and a map of countries from which the packets come.
It is interesting to note that most blocked packets come from the Czech Republic. This is mostly caused by broadcasts and by different neighbor discovery protocols, such as MikroTik uses on port 5678.
