KCodes NetUSB bug exposes millions of routers to RCE attacks

Use GRC's Shie;ds Up port tester to see if your router responds to a scan of port 20005: https://www.grc.com/x/portprobe=20005

If your result is OPEN then I would strongly suggest you get the latest firmware upgrade or toss the router.

Stealth.

Was worried that port is around what I'm using for ATCS (railroad signaling) packets.

In theory, the only routers you'd have to worry about are the ones that have a USB port for a printer, but worth checking in case the code is in there even if the port is not.
