Routers and switches are the critical components of networks. When it comes to the security of organizations, network and infrastructure security are the center of concerns. The most common and obvious concern is that, all internet facing devices should comply with recommended security policies and standards. However, the true fact is, a number of security devices do not comply with secure design principles which results in potential vulnerabilities. Inherent vulnerabilities in routers and switches provide a backdoor access to attackers which ultimately result in device takeover. We will discuss design flaws and authentication bypass vulnerabilities in D-Link devices including Gigabit switches and VOIP routers. We will also discuss the methodology opted to hunt the vulnerabilities. The presentation will be organized as follows: We will describe the details about the vulnerabilities in D-Link Gigabit Switches and VOIP routers
We will demonstrate live exploits in order to gain complete network/device information configured on these devices.
We will present a tool by which users can make sure that their current Dink devices are vulnerable to this issues or not.
