Warning
Some security holes that existed in the old firmware are now fixed.
I recommend you to update to the newest firmware.
For example,
KURO-BOX firmware Ver. 1.01 and earlier
allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code.
Buffalo know that.
But you can download the firmware(with security hole) from
http://www.revogear.com/downloads.html
as of Oct. 31, 2004
"The Kuro Box is built using 100% Open Source software."
Buffalo does NOT open the source code of ppc_uartd and apservd.
