err those are the areas where hackers grow up from… when you have nothing…
How do you figure that?
when you have nothing…
Nothing is secure 💯%.
check to see if your manufacturer has issued a firmware update some companies including Ubiquiti already have
Thanks for the notice, updated my Ubiquiti AP :)
Nothing new here.
Plenty new here..
"Ready your home network for IoT": https://robert.penz.name/1341/ready-your-home-network-for-io…
"NAT Router Security Solutions": https://www.grc.com/nat/nat.htm
…etc., etc.
Consider your priorities - is the thing you are missing in life a smart phone controlled color adjustable LED bulb and Internet connected fridge?
Finally, Google "how to secure your Wi-Fi home network" for "About 30,200,000 results".Pretty much all outdated and irrelevant links with this flaw.
In the likely event that your AP and some of your devices are not patched.
Set up a new and secure AP and ensure all your patched devices can connect to it.
Set up your old router on a separate subnet and make sure all your unsecure devices are attached to it.
Finally.. ensure that you do nothing security conscious over your unsecure network.If you own an Android phone, start trawling xda forums for custom ROM's as likely these will be your only hope to re-secure your device.
One other thing you can do..
Dial down the transmission power so that your WiFi network doesn't permeate your external walls or at least your property…
This will mitigate the risks to your home network down to people hacking on your property.
Read this https://www.howtogeek.com/329671/your-wi-fi-network-is-vulne… and follow the links in it and all will be sweetness and light (I think).
Clickbait nonsense.
It's only for Android devices, and for HTTP rather than HTTPS transmissions.And for every WiFi AP, that's every modem/router with WiFi enabled.
With the recent DNSmasq issue for routers, and now this, I'm on the edge of dumping my existing kit and picking up a full Ubiquiti setup.
(Edgerouter and UniFi)Better to get a USG rather than an Edgerouter.
Wrap your home or office in tinfoil. 😀
Not very much until patches are issued. However it's mitigated by the facts that encrypted sessions (https, ssh, VPN) are not compromised, and the attacker needs to be in range of your network.
you can always use rj45 ie. the network cable
i think this issue is overblown
on windows 7 plus machines they are patched
going forward, all new routers will be patched
older ones? i still dont think its an issue unless you think some guy is going to sit on your street in an FBI van trying to get onto your 12/1 nbn
A lot of devices have no wired Ethernet anymore.
move to poor/uneducated suburbs, where people are stupid and internet is expensive.
