"...Here are 5 easy steps to take when you get a network device / access point to harden yourself
against "easy" exploitation (and this applies to ALL hardware):
- 1) Change the default passwords...
- 2) Disable remote administration... (i.e.: Remote Router Access - disabled)
- 3) Update the firmware...
example: Linksys -
WRT54G •
WRT54G2 •
WRT110
- 4) Disable unused services... (i.e.: SNMP, TELNET, UPNP)
- 5) Change the default settings of the device..."
