From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I got an Archer C7 and i am wondering what to do with it. It already runs openwrt, but we dont need another router.

Are there any recommendations on using a openwrt as Pi-Hole-like thing for example?

Hey! I just got one of these at a thrift store the other day for a couple bucks.

If you want to mess around with pentesting your own devices, there is build based on a specific version of openWRT compatible with it that will let you turn it into a wifi pineapple and it works quite well. Because of the USB ports on the back, you can plug in an additional wifi dongle to add another radio and make it more effective for that.

Here is the repo for the pineapple software based on a specific version of openWRT:
