Default Wireless names

Now this is the best part for war drivers default network names, now if you looked at wireless AP’s around your are you will more than likely find Linksys name’s now NEVER use this for your name as using this means you more than likely haven’t setup any security on your wireless router meaning you more than likely have a user name and password of admin on your router.

 

So what you might ask?

This is a very very dangerous thing too do it means once a war driver has access to your router he can do a number of things one of the most dangerous ones too you is called drive by pharming this means someone can have access to your router and change your DNS settings linking you too one of their servers once they have done that if you visit say your banking site they will redirect it too a fake one on their server taking all your information.

There is a lot more things people can do with it and you need to change the username and password and definitely change your router’s name instead of its default one!
