OK, we crossed wires, no problem. However, for the reasons I mentioned above, compromised routers are still a very bad thing. At the very least, it's a beachhead from which to launch further attacks inside a data center or business. At the worst, they can use SSL strip to strip encryption off of any website/end-user who hasn't locked down HTTPS only. Plus, there are still many protocols in common use that are not encrypted by default.
Edit: Would you agree to let me (or anyone) hook up a compromised router inside your home network?
- 8note 6y agoThe bigger question is "how do you know your router isn't compromised already" Chances are, the US government is pushing for china-free networks to ensure it has a monopoly on hacking American systems. If we as a whole drop the assumption that the network is safe, we can build things where I would trust you to hook up a compromised router to my home network.
