I read the black hat presentation on exploiting printers: http://www.blackhat.com/presentations/bh-usa-02/bh-us-02-phenoelit-network.pdf , good stuff & a real eye opener! I started thinking ..., I'm no hardware expert but couldn't this be modified & applied to all the home & small business routers ??? (linksys, smc, d-link, etc ...) As we all know so many of them are: - can be configured through a web interface - their default config is not changed - are accessible through inet (lack of config) - keep their default accounts (lack of config) - new firmware can be uploaded My question, could something similar to exploiting printers be done to routers or would the hardware be totally incompatible ? ch,
