Router OS detection

use nmap to scan open ports and OS detection, and I discover that TP-WR340G+ is using Wind River VxWorks.

# `-O` for OS detection
sudo nmap -O 192.168.1.1

Router UPnP

Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) is for automatic discovery of other UPnP devices on the network. It says UPnP can speedup internet speed for bit torrent download.

# install `miniupnpc` package
brew install miniupnpc

# list UPnP redirections
upnpc -l

# add port redirections
upnpc -a 192.168.31.2 22 22 TCP
