Malware Attacking Your Router?

"Instead of installing malware that continues to run like a key logger or
trojan, malicious programs are increasingly attacking the network router
which is common with any internet connected home and/or office. An unwanted
program can quickly make a change to your router settings that will
immediately open all your computers to the world. The bad guys won't have to
install a key logger, they'll be able to record every byte that goes across
your network. It's happening now to thousands of routers which are still
using their default name and password."

First, your lack understanding about and use of Usenet, including your
broken Usenet client, is a good indicator that you're not highly
technical or of a base that understands the Net well enough to be
starting a blog to help people that you hope to see your message in
here.

You asked for comments, and being 100% honest and blunt, which many PC
liberal types can't handle, I stated that you should post to usenet for
a few years before you start spamming Usenet... with your blog.

Not true at all!

Since there are rogue anti malware utilities associated with the WinFixer and SmitFruad
Trojan groups that are in fact malware.  Trojans are installed on the unsuspecting
computer users that goad them to purchase so-called anti malware software that does not do
what they puport they will do.  Their goal is just to extract money from you.

Then there are trusted anti malware utilities that perform what they say they will do.
Remove malware.  These are trusted and vetted.

Well, as you say, rogue anti malware = malware and therefore
irrelevant in context. You are complicating things for no obvious
reason.

>Then there are trusted anti malware utilities that perform what they say they will do.
>Remove malware.  These are trusted and vetted.

You can't trust any "anti whatever ware" running in the same
environment as a "whatever ware" allowed to run with equal
credentials. That's just a false assumption. "Anti whatever ware" are
mainly "because I don't know better" solutions for average consumers
and CYA security solutions for businesses.

It appeared to be the same as all other other spams and since I didn't
recognize the poster I made the comment accordingly.

I rarely see the need to advertise a blog in this group like was done,
but putting a reputable blog in a sig or posting links in response to
people needing help is always a good thing.

If it had not been posted in the same light as other spams I would not
have replied the way I did. Any of us that have been around for years
know how to properly post to usenet, including snipping sigs, even if we
had to snip manually.... normally a good indicator that the poster is
not familiar with Usenet which means they've not been here long.

So far I've not seen any reply from the person that indicates I was
wrong, just questioning my post without an explanation of their reason.

This is one reason why I hardly ever post here anymore, the person I'm

posting that link a couple of days ago because it is worth knowing, now you

Thank you for trying to help. I'm afraid, though, that when I copy and paste

I'd be interested to know whether or not the link (when copied/pasted) works

FYI Peter - posted in microsoft.public.security.homeusers

Perhaps someone here will comment on a point of confusion (for me!)

In the 'virus' group mentioned, where I recently posted a message identical
to my OP here, a Mr Peter Foldes (PF) posted a link to
http://www.blakjak.demon.co.uk/mul_crss.htm whiich explains the difference
between Multiposting and Crossposting (written by David Stevenson). I have
seen it before. Maybe it is genuine, maybe not.

I did not click on the link, but copied and pasted same into my browser(s)
as mentioned in my response to Mr Foldes yesterday. It failed to take me to
the intended page, again as mentioned in my reply to him.

Today Peter Foldes has posted another link - which appears identical to the
original - and this time it 'works'.

Wondering if Gremlins are at work here, I checked both the origal link PF
posted and the one in my reply to him. Wow! Today *all* the links work!

Is it magic ............ or has someone tampered with the links? I wonder
how it was done. Any thoughts anyone? TIA

Hello Kerry Brown/TechB!

You mentioned "They could redirect you to sites ....... "

Indeed - it appears that might well happen! You mention spyware, but I
suspect that one might be sent to URL's which will download *malware*
surrepticiously onto one's computer without the knowledge of the user. I
fully appreciate that the appropriation of a router does not itself load
malware onto a computer, but there is only one more step required to ensnare
the associated machines!

I'm pleased that you dropped by here. I was just about to reply to you in
the 'homeusers' group to tell you that I was involved in discussion here. I
am delighted to learn that you agree that the threat is real ........ and
very dangerous!

What is needed is some simple indication that a router *has* actually been
compromised - so that a user may take steps to format/reinstall their
operating system(s) and start afresh!

Any ideas on how one might be able to tell if a router has been 'got at'?

I suspect there is no such indicator! :(

When they have enough control to compromise your router they could just as
easily have installed malware on your computer if they wanted to. Changing
the DNS settings on your router indicates they probably have other things in
mind. They could redirect you to a fake bank site for instance.

It's quite easy to tell if a router has been compromised. Check which DNS
servers the router is using. If they aren't from your ISP the router has
been compromised. Formatting or reinstalling your OS would have no affect at
all on this. The wrong DNS settings would still exist in your router.
Flashing the router's firmware then setting a strong password and disabling
uPnP are the steps to take to correct the problem. If you think they
redirected you to a bad site that installed malware then yes, to fix that
you may need to format and reinstall the OS.

While I fear that commenting may cause more suspicious views I wanted
to confirm a few things.

I don't think I know Dave but I certainly didn't ask him to post a
link to my blog.
I do appreciate that Dave thought my topic earlier this week was worth
discussing.  Thanks Dave
I certainly understand how messages could be viewed as spam which is I
why if you search you won't find any posts promoting my blog or
WinPatrol which might appear to be spam.

I think anyone who knows me will confirm I'm one of the most reputable
people you'll meet online. Perhaps not the most modest.
The only reason I found this post is because I have Google Alerts set
up to Email me any mentions of WinPatrol.
I appreciate Kerry's adding the discussion with valuable tip. The only
real tip in my blog post was that people need to change their d*mn
default password.

Lastly, my BitsfromBill blog is non-commercial with the exception of
news about WinPatrol.  WinPatrol is free and essentially supported by
the 1% of our users who do upgrade to the paid version.

Thanks,

I occasionally read your blog. I have a lot of respect for it and you.
While some may have thought Dave was spamming, I am not one of them. Dave
is overly focused on conspiracies. He has been known to post links to
blogs or forum posts then extrapolate things I'm sure the author never
intended.

I am of the belief that compromising routers is a very serious issue,
possibly one of the most serious we face when surfing the Internet.
Changing DNS settings allows criminals to do some very sophisticated
things that most users would have a very hard time detecting. It also is
OS agnostic as there is no infection of the computer. Fortunately the
current attacks are easily defeated but the user has to take action to do
this. Blogs like yours help to get the word out so people will take the
needed steps to protect themselves.

I still think the blog post overstated what they can do, but the fact
that the blog brings attention to this issue can only result in good.

You're welcome, Bill.

I can confirm here that I do not know Bill personally (nor, in fact, on
line) although I *have* used Win Patrol in the distant past. Perhaps I will
again now!

I first became aware of such matters when I read this item in The Register:-
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/04/09/dns_rebinding_attack/

There are a great many 'help' sites on the net - many purporting to 'clean'
a users PC - yet cybercrime continues to flourish. Most people I know would
expect that a format and reinstallation of an operating system would
*really* give then a fresh start. It seems to me, though, that if one's
router has a mind of its own, so to speak, a computer could be back as part
of a Botnet in the blink of an eye!

We really aren't too far apart, Kerry! <wink>

You will no doubt spot my reply to Bill.

Are you able to point me in the direction of *how* to check which DNS
servers a router is using? My router is a Netgear DG834G v3 supplied by AOL
and which was initially set up by a CD also supplied by AOL - it all
happened 'automatically'!

You'd have to check with AOL and see which DNS servers should be in use.
Then you'd have to look in the manual for the Netgear as to where to check
which DNS servers were being used.

I don't know BD and I didn't visit the blog, there was no reason. It's

Unlike you, I can live with being wrong and have been in the past. The
post appeared to be spam and was improperly formatted in a reply, like
your post is not properly quoting the text you quoted.

So, yes, it appears that BD is a good member, that the blog is
reputable, but, I had not seen either before and took it for face value.

Maybe you can get your Usenet interface fixed while you ponder the
simple misunderstanding because of a lack of explanation.

Ya I read it, you admitted some fault while still blaming BD for the way he
posted and admittingly stating that you did not click the link. the most

As I read what you've posted, your sort of saying you were wrong, but,
that's the most non-apology I've seen in some time....

Whilst I may be wrong about this, I *think* the lame comment was directed at
YOU Leythos! <wink>

Just as a reminder, you *have* 'met' me here before. Perhaps this 'cut and
paste' will jog your memory:-

A very sensible stance to take! FYI, your link to the speedguide forum
article did not work for me (either from here of from the Techaarena thread

It often appears - in Malke an PABear responses in particular. I'm surprised
that you haven't been sufficiently curious to take a look! ;)

Are you going to use a Usenet client that strips the sig lines?

I don't pay attention posters names/nic's, all I go on is content.

I might - will you recommend one, Leythos?

Super Gravity is free and has been around for 10+ years, works on all
Win platforms and even lets you decode files if you're into that kind of

It's about as clean and easy as it gets, it's a real Usenet client, not
a broken Web/Email client.

No point, names mean very little in the FROM field, only the content
matters.
