Or much more simply -- verify the update integrity. e.g. Kindles use a signed update package, and if the update_*.bin has a webpage for content, it won't be signed...

AIUI, Kobo updates are just gzipped tarballs -- so at least check for a gzip header (and check for .tgz corruption) before assuming it is a valid update and rebooting.


That would catch firewalls as well as a few other problems.
