The first problem is the existance of a default telnet backdoor running on the usual 23/tcp port. From my experience, telnet interfaces are NOT enabled by default in wireless routers but rather, they usually need to be enabled from their administrative web interfaces manually: <Start of output> Starting nmap 3.75 ( http://www.insecure.org/nmap/ ) at 2005-06-06 18:34 BST Initiating SYN Stealth Scan against BelkinModem.Belkin (192.168.2.1)
The obvious question to ask here, is "Can the telnet service be connected to from the WAN side?". All the later content you present, whilst interesting, is of less value if the attacker must be on the LAN side of the router. Steve -- # Debian System Administration www.debian-administration.org/
