Millions of Home Routers Will Soon Be Hacked

[nukemaster]

Well, I am on the safe list. for now.....

Smoothwall is a good idea, I use Clear OS formerly known as Clark Connect. Both offer way more then any home router. I do have a home router but it just an AP now because it is cheaper then an AP. I do like the Linux solution as I can have a proxy, antivirus, intrusion detection, PPTP or SSL VPN endpoint, web server, NAS, DLNA server, and even more rolled into one. Then VPN has been great for road warrior access to files and remote desktops that I would never trust a simple router or hosting site to perform.

A lot of people I know have these routers I recommend having one over directly hooking a PC to any broadband connection, even if you aren't sharing the connection. I will have to check my friends and family to make sure they have changed their passwords.

[citation][nom]teknic111[/nom]@extremepcs...your wpa2 + radius + complex password will not protect you from this kind of attack![/citation]

How do you figure? I know it's not a wireless exploit - I have a complex password. Besides, I use Smoothwall anyway!

Lol, Sandmanwn has the answer. I Baffle'm with real looking BS. Its easy to mess up good data and copy it. And I also do all the right things too. It takes time to find the real diamonds in a pile of fakes, thus an easier target becomes more attractive. Or they make off quick with BS data!EX: Lilly Munster 1313 Mockingbird Lane...

Hooray for my 6 year old router that will hold its ground!

Only Obama can save us..I'm sure it would be safe in his hands.

I'll trust a con artist to handle my bank account before I trust Obama with anything else in this world. He's jacked things up enough.

if he wanted this to be more impressive, he will make a virus, that infects millions of routers, and FIXES security holes. would it be evil, or good?

Goody goody my D-Link held up.

 

[garyshome]

I know there was a reason i voted for him.

My password is "12345," not "admin." Hackproof!

Between this utility and the consumer WIFI data that Google has been mining for the last 5 years you could really have some fun.....

Dude, the only thing worse than broadcasting your password to the world, is broadcasting my password to the world...now I have to go home and change it...not cool.

Will it affect dd-wrt?

 

[chaoski]

these hacker companies are a joke. Of course they can hack into ANYTHING especially for a profit.

 

[Guest]

What a douchebag. It still takes an idiot to have this happen to them.

 

[smile9999]

well mine is not on the list but its a linksys so I am not sure I am out of the water yet, good technique to get things done although very aggressive
