Gladiator Research and Security

For years Cross-site request forgery (CSRF) attacks have occurred on many websites and network devices, often undetected.  CSRF attacks execute malicious content on a trusted site, or device, that appear to come from the victim.  These attacks are often difficult to both detect and protect against.  While CSRF attacks are nothing new, a security researcher named Nathan Hamiel, has recently discovered that most DSL modems (and Cable modems) are still just as vulnerable to CSRF attacks as other technologies.
