{"code":"TNQTQJ","title":"Turning a Cheap Router into a Networking Test Lab with OpenWrt","speakers":["H8BJEF"],"submission_type":20,"track":24,"tags":[],"state":"confirmed","abstract":"OpenWrt is most often seen as a flexible firmware for consumer routers — but it can also be a powerful tool in software development and testing. In this talk, I will show how easy it is to set up a router with OpenWrt and get started with its intuitive web interface. From there, we’ll look at how we use OpenWrt in practice: configuring custom firewall rules for traffic shaping, running OpenNDS as a captive portal to test authentication flows, and integrating mitmproxy for complex scenarios that require deep inspection or modification of traffic. Together these capabilities turn an inexpensive router into a versatile, reproducible testbed for networking features, security workflows, and real-world user conditions.","duration":45,"slot_count":1,"content_locale":"en","do_not_record":false,"image":null,"resources":[117],"slots":[6068],"answers":[151]}
