I'd like to check if my home router is vulnerable to this over HTTP or DHCP or SSH. Is there any tool I can use, like the heartbleed folks had?
My router runs DD-WRT (an old version which I can't upgrade), has an administration web page and has ssh access enabled. It does not have remote web administration enabled. Any tips?
- sounds 12y agoSSH in and look at your iptables. If any inbound ports are open besides state RELATED,ESTABLISHED (required for NAT), delete those rules. Reboot the router and verify that the lines do not reappear -- you may need to add a startup script to your admin page that deletes the rules on each startup. That doesn't prevent an XSS attack on the admin page if you view a malicious web page on a browser within your home network, but it's a first step.
- safeaim 12y agoIsn't the router still at risk after taking these precautions seeing as many routers shell out for ping and traceroute-responses?
