Your cable/adsl modem? Probably an embedded Linux box, possibly using bash, and certainly a dhcp client of the ISP. Better still, for many people that same comprimisable modem is the DHCP server for their home LAN... Generally those devices are not using bash as '/bin/sh': it is too heavyweigh. Most will use 'busybox' or some other Swiss-army command for stuff which is separate commands on a "normal" linux system.
Fair point.
