Irctc rail connect app. (Source: IOActive) The security holes break down as follows: • An unauthenticated actor can exploit two of the flaws to create a denial of service (DoS) condition and thereby render the router unresponsive. Until the individual ceases their attack, an admin can’t access the router’s web interface and users can’t connect to the network. • Attackers can bypass the authentication measures protecting the Common Gateway Interface ( CGI) scripts to collect information from the router.

Your Wi-Fi router, sitting in the corner of your home accumulating dust and unpatched security flaws, provides an attractive target for hackers. Including, according to a new WikiLeaks release, the CIA. On Thursday, WikiLeaks published a detailed a set of descriptions and documentation for the CIA's router-hacking toolkit. It's the latest drip in the, and it hints at how the agency leverages vulnerabilities in common routers sold by companies including D-Link and Linksys.

While some of the features and the ease-of-use may be nice, it is not worth the continual issues and security concerns. And that is where we come in. At, we get our name from this very process; we take powerful routers (vulnerable as they may be before we upgrade them, as the above linked articles demonstrate), and super-charge their versatility, making them not just capable of running faster, but of keeping your network completely secure. Top-quality replacement firmwares like DD-WRT and Tomato give users the ability to extend their wireless range and control how their bandwidth is allocated, but more importantly, they give users access to a wide range of advanced security options. They even make usage much simpler. Exploits like those documented above are increasingly prevalent, and worth the extra effort that goes into preventing them.

It should be noted that this number does not take into account vulnerable devices protected by strict firewall rules or running behind another network appliance, which could still be compromised by attackers who have access to the individual or company’s internal network.” The majority (69 percent) of those affected devices identified by the researchers are located in the United States. IOActive notified Linksys of the flaws back in January 2017. Since then, the two firms have been coordinating responsible disclosure of the security holes.

You can even write your own scripts and upload them to the router. At the moment, I have a client-bridge setup with the Linksys WRT54G router as the primary router and a Buffalo WHR-G125 as a secondary router using the same SSID. DISCLAIMER: Anything you do below this line carries a certain amount of risk and there is always a possibility of bricking your router! I have only detailed the steps I took to install DD-WRT on my router and several other routers. Note that this is NOT an official DD-WRT site. **Whatever you do is done AT YOUR OWN RISK. I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE for what happens to your router.

Many of the active exposed on the internet scanned by Shodan were using default credentials, making them susceptible to the takeover. Researchers found more than 7,000 devices impacted by the security flaws at the time of the scan, though this does not include routers protected by firewalls or other network protections. 'We performed a mass-scan of the ~7,000 devices to identify the affected models,' IOActive says. 'We found that 11% of the ~7000 exposed devices were using default credentials and therefore could be rooted by attackers.'

But given that most users don't frequently update their routers, and consumer antivirus software doesn't track router malware either, WikiLeaks' release demonstrates just how much of a hacking bonanza the world's Wi-Fi access points may offer to capable hackers. 'Almost every home has a wireless router, and we don't have many tools to check what’s going on on those devices,' Hickey says.

We'll, i Took off DD-WRT, it dident work any beter IMO, wireless went up ~1DB on my wireless computer, it refused to let the wireless computer connect, and also, it hung when you rebooted the router ( due to config changes ). And i left it for ~20 mins waiting for it to come back. I have loaded Hyperwrt-Tofu now, And its simple, it gives a ~5DB Gain on my wireless Computer, and Torrents are not interupting all traffic but i have not been able to clear ~80K/sec. I am going to keep trying, I will keep you guys posted Btw, i am on a WRT54G V4 Support for the V4 was JUST add'd to DD-WRT, so i am sure its just a little bug.

'Everything you’re doing on the internet is going through the CIA.' —Matthew Hickey, Hacker House Given the general insecurity of the average home router, it shouldn't come as a surprise that one of the world's most well-resourced spy agencies has exploited them for surveillance. But the details of those hacking tools should, if nothing else, serve as a reminder to, as frustrating a process as that may be.

Inside Vault 7• • • Routers make an appealing entry point for hackers, the CIA included, in part because most of them offer no easily accessible interface or performance giveaways when they've been compromised. 'There’s no sign to tell you whether your router is hacked or not—you’re just on the internet as normal,' says Matthew Hickey, a security researcher and founder of the firm Hacker House, who's analyzed the documents. 'The only thing is that everything you’re doing on the internet is going through the CIA.' According to the leaked documentation, the CIA's router-hacking killchain seems to start with a tool called Claymore, which can scan a network to identify devices and then launch the CIA's router-hacking exploits.

So users with Smart Wi-Fi devices should turn ON the automatically update feature to get the latest firmware as soon as the new versions arrive.

Linksys Firmware Ea6400

[Craig Heffner] recently found himself on the router. The router’s firmware was using some previously unknown form of obfuscation, causing headaches for those wishing to run their own software. The WRT120N, being a 2009 model is somewhat out of date at this point.

If you are willing to risk your router with the firmware change, read on, or else look somewhere else. Serial numbers of Linksys WRT54G and WRT54GL routers Before buying the routers, you need to check the serial numbers so you'll know the version.

With those credentials, a CIA hacker can then install their own custom firmware, which it calls Flytrap, on a victim's router. That malicious firmware can monitor the target's browsing, strip the SSL encryption from web links they click, and even inject other exploits into their traffic, designed to offer access directly to the target's PC or phone. Yet another piece of software, called CherryTree, serves as a command-and-control system for those hacked routers, allowing operators to monitor and update the infected network devices from a browser-based interface called CherryWeb.

⇒ ⇒ I have a Linksys WRT54G Wireless-G router that runs Linux. The great thing about this router is that it is easily customisable and highly configurable after uploading third-party firmwares like DD-WRT, Tomato and OpenWRT. You can even write your own scripts and upload them to the router.

'We found that 11% of the ~7000 exposed devices were using default credentials and therefore could be rooted by attackers.' IOActive made Linksys aware of the issues in January this year and is working 'closely and cooperatively' with the company ever since to validate and address the vulnerabilities. Here's How critical are these Flaws: The researchers did not reveal more details about the vulnerabilities until the patch is made available to users, although they said two of the flaws could be used for denial-of-service attacks on routers, making them unresponsive or reboot by sending fraudulent requests to a specific API.

Binwalk analyzes firmware files for known data, be it embedded filesystems, raw compression streams, or binary files. In this case Binwalk only found a small LZMA block which contained the compressed html files for the router’s web interface. The rest of the firmware was unknown data with a high level of entropy. [Craig] couldn’t do anything more with the firmware update file alone, so he ordered a router to attack from the hardware side.
