It recommends following your router manufacturer's guidance on making sure
the router is secure. It doesn't say specifically what to search for. I
have a Buffalo WZR-600DHP running OpenWrt LuCI, Attitude Adjustment 12.09.
What foo should I use to determine what version of firmware I should be
running to be reasonably secure?
Dick,
Brian Krebs had a blog post on this a while ago. The key thing to do --
unless I'm badly mistaken -- is to change the admin's password from the
factory default. If your LAN is on a different class C subnet, change the
router's IP address from the standard 192.168.1.1 to an address on your
subnet.
And, while risking the wrath of Russell, limit access to the MAC addresses
of your local hosts that will access it via radio.
HTH,
Rich
