Zxyel Routers Beware
This week we've released a module written by first time community contributor
shr70 [https://github.com/shr70] that can exploit roughly 45 different Zyxel
router and VPN models. The module exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability that
results in unauthenticated remote code execution on affected devices. It's rare
we see a module affect this many devices once and are excited to see this ship
in the framework. We hope pentesters and red-teamers alike can make good use of

Basic discover script improvements
This week two improvements were made to the script/resource/basic_discovery.rc

easier to target multiple hosts. Additionally, adfoster-r7
