The DNS is not the usual one (check with IPCONFIG and compare to your ISP’s DNS list or use F-Secure free router checker.Your router lights – especially the internet connection lights are very active.Have you had to reboot the router, has it lost connectivity to the internet, is it simply not working as you remember it While its easy to blame the NBN or your ISP slow internet speeds when they are usually fast are a dead giveaway Increased internet traffic – look at your ISP account and see if there are any increases over the usual level.At this point, your router is now just a plain old infected router.

If someone gains administrative access and uploads a custom OS to your router, they can even disable firmware updates and uploads.

How do I know my modem/router is affected?Ī router is a computer with CPU, RAM, and storage that can all be accessed. Only six products are affected, this allows to run OS commands as root during short time window when WPS is activated. TWSL2018-004: Command Injection Vulnerability on D7000, EX6200v2 and Some Routers As a result, any user connected to the router can run OS commands as root on the device without providing any credentials. This is a three-stage attack leveraging three separate issues: CSRF token recovery vulnerability and the two findings in TWSL2018-003. TWSL2018-003: Chained Attack: Command Injection Authentication is bypassed if “&genie=1” is found within the query string. This also affects large set of products (17) and is trivial to exploit. TWSL2018-003: Finding 2: Authentication Bypass This one affects six products and reflects a root level OS command execution via the device_name parameter on the lan.cgi page, although the attack requires authentication. TWSL2018-003: Finding 1: Post-Authentication Command Injection Some routers allow arbitrary file reading from the device provided that the path to file is known. TWSL2018-002: Password Recovery and File Access The five vulnerabilities are (not all affect every router): Routers (R) and their modem/router (D) variants affected include (this is not an exhaustive list) R6100
