"As soon as you get home, this is something you want to do with all your routers," Horowitz told the tech-savvy crowd.

Worst of all is Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS), an ease-of-use feature that lets users bypass the network password and connect devices to a Wi-Fi network simply by entering an eight-digit PIN printed on the router itself.įrankly, if you get any response back, I would throw the router out." The WPS threat "Go to /HNAP1/, and, hopefully, you'll get no response back, if that's the only good thing.

"That eight-digit number will get you into the no matter what. So a plumber comes over to your house, turns the router over, takes a picture of the bottom of it, and he can now get on your network forever." That eight-digit PIN isn't even really eight digits, Horowitz explained.


It's actually seven digits plus a final checksum digit. The first four digits are validated as one sequence and the last three as another, resulting in only 11,000 possible codes instead of 10 million. "If WPS is active, you can get into the router," Horowitz said. "You just need to make 11,000 guesses" - a trivial task for most modern computers and smartphones. Then, there's networking port 32764, which French security researcher Eloi Vanderbeken in 2013 discovered had been quietly left open on gateway routers sold by several major brands.

Using port 32764, anyone on a local network - which includes a user's ISP - could take full administrative control of a router, and even perform a factory reset, without a password.

The port was closed on most affected devices following Vanderbeken's disclosures, but he later found that it could easily be reopened with a specially designed data packet that could be sent from an ISP.

"It was deliberate, no doubt about it." How to lock down your home router "This is so obviously done by a spy agency, it's amazing," Horowitz said. The first step toward home router security, Horowitz said, is to make sure the router and cable modem are not a single device. (If you need to get your own modem, check out our recommendations for the best cable modem.) Many ISPs lease such dual-purpose devices to customers, but those customers will have little control over their own home networks. "If you were given a single box, which most people I think call a gateway," Horowitz said, "you should be able to contact the ISP and have them dumb down the box so that it acts as just a modem. Next, Horowitz recommended that customers buy a low-end commercial-grade Wi-Fi/Ethernet router, such as the Pepwave Surf SOHO (opens in new tab), which retails for about $200 (though beware price gougers), rather than a consumer-friendly router that can cost as little as $40.Ĭommercial-grade routers are unlikely to have UPnP or WPS enabled.

The Pepwave, Horowitz noted, offers additional features, such as firmware rollbacks in case a firmware update goes wrong. Around.(Many top-end consumer routers, especially those aimed at gamers, offer this as well.) Timetool 1.0.0.1 for tasco update#
