Routers

Routers are the most insecure computers that exist on the Internet. There are so many routers in this world, that you can 0wn as many as you want. The most predominant reason for this lack of security of routers, is that most are not configured at all. They are left with their default passwords (I know this from personal experience). Because of this, routers are very easy to exploit. All you need to do is find out which Operating System it is using, and then just grep out the default passwords list for that. How to find the OS? Go read about nmap, stupid boy!

As routers have to work all the times, they are always on, but again they may log your data, and you may not be able to delete it. But since routers get so huge an amount of traffic everyday, that your chances to escape, literally increases very much. When you decide to exploit a router, use a wingate first, and then connect to it. Why take chances?

How to find them:

Finding routers is easy. I'll tell the most easy way. One that I had incorporated to find routers. Go to google, and search anything, then traceroute all the sites that show up. All the computers that come between yours and theirs, are routers. Then you have to scan each one for the operating system. It's that easy.
