Also affects ASUS-WL500g

This issue also affects the ASUS WL-500g (from about 9 years ago). The format of the infosrvr protocol header is probably different. Here was some old code i had to exercise one of the innocuos OpCodes:

Interesting! Was this reported back then?

No. I never thought it was that big a deal (in both 2005 or 2013) since it was a local network exploit on a router intended for home use.

Another interesting bit was documented here on a really old firmware version: http://oleg.wl500g.info/ "Removed never ending ping done by firmware, notifying guys from Taiwan of your router, when you press Connect"

I never found any evidence of that in my firmware images, but I didn't look incredibly hard.
