  • Popular WiFi Routers Are Susceptible To Mass Hacking Says Researcher

    Popular WiFi Routers Are Susceptible To Mass Hacking Says Researcher

    Over 650,000 ADSL routers that are extremely vulnerable to hacking have been ousted to the public by ISP’s worldwide.

    Of the numerous exposed flaws, one of the largest appears to be a directory traversal vulnerability which exists under a component under the name of webproc.cgi. This vulnerability allows hackers to gain access to admin credentials, potentially letting them steal data that’s important to the victim.

    Perhaps the most astounding part of this story though, is that that researchers first discovered, and exposed this flaw back in 2011 but in only a select few models.

    More recently though, a lone security researcher, Kyle Lovett, while analyzing some ADSL routers, uncovered this vulnerability in a huge amount of routers. After further investigation he ended up uncovering hundreds of thousands of susceptible devices located around the world.

    Just taking a wild guess, this happened on such a large scale, and the problem was swept aside so long because of the ISP’s.

    Most ISP’s provide customers (force them into using) their own ADSL modems, even if you want to use your perfectly good one. Maybe they have a deal with the NSA, some custom spy software installed maybe?

    So it’s no wonder that by pushing these modems, there would be a mass risk for vulnerabilities to be exploited.

    There’s actually more than just the webproc.cgi flaw though, there’s several other massive flaws.

    Around 60 percent of the modems have a hidden account, supposedly for “support purposes” with a laughably easy to guess, hard coded password. These 60% of devices all share the same password.

    For a quarter of the routers, hackers are able to take a snapshot of the modems active memory. Of course this is a big issue, because this memory can contain credentials for past visited website, in plain text.

    Worst yet, Lovett was able to track down the IP addresses of hackers exploiting these vulnerabilities, and most of the addresses were coming from China.

    An expected fix for these vulnerabilities has yet to be rolled out, but for the time being you can check to see if your modem is effected by looking at the list – here

    • The Gionee Elife S5.5 you want to root in your hand.
    • A PC.

    Step 1 – Install USB drivers on to your PC for the Gionee Elife S5.5

    In order for the device to be recognised when connected to your PC you must first download and install the Kyocera USB drivers for your PC which you can get from here.

    After downloading, save the file, extract it and run the setup program to install the USB drivers.

    Step 2 – Download the Gionee Elife S5.5 rooting tool

    To root the Gionee Elife S5.5 you need to download and install Root Genius which you can get from here.

    Download the rooting program and install it on to your PC.

    Step 3 – Root the Gionee Elife S5.5

    Now we are ready to root the Gionee Elife S5.5 phone.

    Run the rooting application you installed from step 3 and connect your Gionee Elife S5.5 to your PC.

    Wait for the rooting tool to recognise the device. Once it has been recognised click Root and then click I Authorize and wait for the process to complete.

    Replace Vroot Superuser with SuperSU

    You should notice, once it restarts, that you now have a new application called Superuser which means that you have successfully rooted the device. You may however wish to replace this program with the more commonly known SuperSU.

    To do that download the script to change this from here. Again, save it to an easy to find location on your PC and extract it to its own folder.

    Make sure that the Gionee Elife S5.5 is connected to your PC.

    Copy the mrw folder to the main root of your internal storage (it is called Phone in Windows).

    mrw

    On the Gionee Elife S5.5 itself go to the Play Store and download the Terminal Emulator application, install it and run it.

    With the program running type the following command (press Enter after each one):

    Su

    Allow root permission when asked.

    Type the next command and press Enter again when done.

    sh /sdcard/mrw/root.sh

    Wait for the device to complete the process. When done it will automatically reboot.

    When the Gionee Elife S5.5 boots up again you should notice that you now have SuperSU and not the original Superuser application and the device is fully rooted.
