O2 Broadband Router Security

A few weeks ago, I discovered a serious security flaw that affects hundreds of thousands of broadband internet users. I made several attempts to report this problem to O2, but they erroneously insisted that the security of their Wireless Boxes exceeds industry standards and is acceptable for home use.

I strongly disagree, so I have published my findings to try and get them to take the matter seriously. It's quite an interesting attack vector, so I shall describe it in full detail after they have fixed the problem.
