![]() DEVCORE became the first team to successfully execute two different Stack-based buffer overflow attacks against a Mikrotik RB2011 router and a Canon printer in the SOHO SMASHUP category.Interrupt Labs was able to execute two bugs (SQL injection and command injection) against the LAN interface of the NETGEAR RAX30 AX2400.Computest was able to execute a command injection root shell attack against the LAN interface of the Synology RT6600ax.Gaurav Baruah was able to execute a command injection attack against the WAN interface of the Synology RT6600ax.Tri Dang and Bien Pham from Qrious Secure were able to execute a two bug (authentication bypass and command injection) attack against the WAN interface of the TP-Link AX1800.To me, the take-away from this is to avoid consumer routers. All the routers were running the latest firmware. The contest involved hacking multiple types of devices, only the router exploits are shown below. One highlight is that Synology seems to have gotten the worst of it, the RT6600ax was hacked by Multiple consumer routers were hacked by many different groups. Many routers hacked at the PWN2OWN contest Articles that offer security advice are listed on the Other router security advice page. The flaws that are exploited are documented on the Bugs page. I am still waiting for a good news story about routers. That could be a security camera which can read the QR code directly, or via the gadget’s app which would use your phone’s camera to do the scanning.Routers in the news, pretty much means routers getting exploited by bad guys to do bad things. This is aimed at smart home gadgets without screens, and allows a device to connect to a WPA3 Wi-Fi network by scanning a QR code. With WPA3, should a breach occur (something already unlikely) then the hacker would only be able to access data sent across the network from that point in time onwards, not data sent in the past.Ī more visible benefit is the new Easy Connect system. Put simply, if someone managed to hack into your Wi-Fi network under the WPA2 system, they’d have access to everything. So instead of selecting WPA2-PSK in the drop-down list in your router’s Wi-Fi settings, you’ll see WPA3-SAE when the new standard arrives proper.Īnother benefit is what’s called forward secrecy. It also means that the old Pre-shared Key system is gone, replaced by S imultaneous Authentication of Equals. This means those brute force attacks are effectively stopped in their tracks. But with WPA3, hackers won’t be able to do that as the new standard allows for only one offline guess before having to connect to the network and make another password attempt online. This was because the process of guessing password after password could happen offline. ![]()
