How to Hack an Ethernet ADSL Router
Almost half of the Internet users across the globe use ADSL
routers/modems to connect to the Internet. However, most of them are
unaware of the fact that it has a serious vulnerability in it which can
easily be exploited by anyone with a basic knowledge of computer. In
this post, I will show you how to Hack An Ethernet ADSL Router by exploiting the common vulnerability that lies in it.
Every router comes with a username and password using
which it is possible to gain access to the router settings and
configure the device. The vulnerability actually lies in the Default Username and Password that
comes with the factory settings. Usually the routers comes Pre configured
from the Internet Service provider and hence the users do not bother to
change the password later.
This makes it possible for the attackers to gain unauthorized access to
the router and modify its settings using a common set of default
usernames and passwords. Here is how you can do it. Before you proceed,
you need the following tool in the process:
Hacking the ADSL Router:
Here is a detailed information on how to exploit the vulnerability of an ADSL router:
- Go to whatismyipaddress.com. Once the page is loaded, you will find your IP address. Note it down.
- Open Angry IP Scanner, here you will see an option called IP Range: where you need to enter the range of IP address to scan for.
- Go to Tools->Preferences and select the Ports tab. Under Port selection enter 80 (we need to scan for port 80). Now switch to theDisplay tab, select the option “Hosts with open ports only” and click on OK.
- Now click on Start. After a few minutes, the IP scanner will show a list of IPs with Port 80 open as shown in the below image:
- Now copy any of the IP from the list, paste it in your browser’s address bar and hit enter. A window will popup asking for username and password. Since most users do not change the passwords, it should most likely work with the default username and password. For most routers the defaultusername-password pair will be admin-admin or admin-password.
Suppose your IP is 117.192.195.101, you can set the range something as117.192.194.0 to 117.192.200.255 so that there exists at least 200-300 IP addresses in the range.
Just enter the username-password as specified above and hit enter. If
you are lucky you should gain access to the router settings page where
you can modify any of the router settings. The settings page can vary
from router to router. A sample router settings page is shown below:
If you do not succeed to gain access, select another IP from the list
and repeat the step-5. At least 1 out of 5 IPs will have a default
password and hence you will surely be able to gain access.
What can a Hacker do by Gaining Access to the Router Settings?
By gaining access to the router settings, it is possible for an attacker
to modify any of the router settings which results in the malfunction
of the router. As a result the target user’s computer will be
disconnected from the Internet. In the worst case the attacker can copy
the ISP login details from the router to steal the Internet connection
or even hijack the DNS by pointing it at a rouge DNS server. If this
happens, the victim will have to reconfigure/reset the router settings
in order to bring it back to normal.
How to Track Lost Android Phone and Tablet
our
Android gadgets are the most important things in your life. It contains
all your important contacts and information. If you lose your
equipment, you will be losing all those sweet memories with the photos
and video. But there is some good news to android phone/tablet users,
you can now easily find or at least know where your missing phone is
with or without using android application.
Let’s first look at the way of finding your lost phone which doesn’t contain any app installed on it.
Use the IMEI Number
Every android phone carries a unique IMEI number (International Mobile
Equipment Identity Number). It will be printed at the back of your
device. If you are unable to find the number, you have to launch your
phone app and dial the number *#06#. This will give you the IMEI number
of your phone. Store this number in a safe place so that it helps you in
locating your phone when it is lost.
When you file a complaint, this number has to be added in the report.
Your service provider uses this number to track your phone and tell you
where it is. No matter if the person using the phone is using a
different SIM card or has switched off the phone. Once the device is
traced, you can request your service provider to block it from using.
This is one of the easy ways of locating your lost Android phone or tablet.
Plan B
Another way of tracking your lost Android gadget in no time is through
Plan B app. This app does not require you to install any recovery
software previously but still helps in finding your lost phone. All you
need to do is log on to your Google play account. Lookout mobile
security offers free software called Plan B. Download the software from
play store to your phone. This will be possible only if your phone is
within the Internet coverage area. Wait for some time and then send the
keyword “locate” without the quotes through SMS to your phone. And a map
showing where your equipment is will be sent to your Gmail account.
This app is very much useful in situations where you don’t have IMEI
number.
If you have installed and configured any of these below android software previously, there is good chance of finding it.
You can log on to Google Play store > My Android Apps, on your
computer and check if you have installed any of the following apps
previously.
Lookout Security and Antivirus
Lookout is the best android app for security and antivirus. So far, it
has received millions of downloads. Just recall if you have installed
this on your phone.
If you have activated the option “Missing Device” in this app, it is
easy to find your device. If you have also enabled “Signal Flare”
option, you can trace the last known location of your android device.
This is helpful in case your phone battery is dead or tablet is switched
off.
Now sign in Lookout to locate your device. The map shows the location of
your phone. If you are at a short distance from the tablet, you can
choose Scream option to make a loud noise to find it.
Android Device Manager
Google has recently released a new locator feature for Android gadgets
called Android Device manager, which helps its users locate their lost
or stolen phones and tablets. It functions in the same way as Lookout
and Samsung’s “Find My Mobile”. Here’s how to use Android Device
Manager.
Go to the Google Settings app, then select Android device manager. By
default the locator feature is activated but to activate remove data
wipe, select the box next to “Allow remote factory reset”, then select
“activate”.
To use this feature, open the site http://sh.st/wQTtX and
sign in to your Google account. You may be prompted for permission to
allow Android Device Manager to use location data. Select the Accept tab
to continue.
Now you will be provided with a map that shows the location of your
device along with other details such as the name of the place, when it
was last used and more. The location data doesn’t help you if your phone
is misplaced somewhere in your home. Instead of making a call to your
phone using other’s phone, you can call your phone directly from Android
Device Manager. This will make your device to ring with high volume for
5 minutes, even if it’s in silent or vibrate mode.
One feature that is missing in Android Device Manager is remote locking,
which can be useful in preventing a stranger from accessing your data,
while you’re tracking its location.
Apart from these, there are other apps such as Android Lost, Where do My Droid and GadgetTrak that help you in finding your lost Android phone/Tablet.
