Below is a description of a program hackers use to get into WIFI
routers. I took out it's name and replaced with ###### but, most of you
probably know what I'm talking about. I'm told there is no way to change
the manufacturers 4 digit PIN code which is in every router and allows
administrative access to our WIFI. I'd think the only way to protect
ourselves is to change our pass phrase every day?? or does anyone know
how to change this manufacturer default 4 digit PIN?//I have a LINKSYS
by CISCO wifi router.
/("###### implements a brute force attack against Wifi Protected Setup
(WPS) registrar PINs in order to recover WPA/WPA2 pass phrases.//
/
/###### has been designed to be a robust and practical attack against
WPS, and has been tested against a wide variety of access points and WPS
implementations. /
/On average ###### will recover the target AP's plain text WPA/WPA2 pass
phrase in 4-10 hours, depending on the AP. In practice, it will
generally //take half this time to guess the correct WPS pin and recover
the pass phrase.")
