It's been on my list for some time to write up an entry for some of the advantages delivered through the Broadband Forum BBF.069 certification program. The program is currently the industry's only official certification program for the TR-069 protocol, and has been created by the experts that wrote the standards. With the recent articles circulating from the DECFON 22 presentation from Shahar Tal, now seems like a great opportunity. I'll expand a little more on the specifics from the DEFCON article later in this entry, but first I want to give a small background on TR-069 and the BBF.069 Certification Program for the novice.
