Description

 By default, many of Belkin wireless routers using a default ssid of "belkin54g" are preconfigured with a default password. The "admin" account has a null password which is publicly known and documented. This allows attackers to trivially access the program or system.

Classification

Attack Type: Authentication Management
Impact: Loss of Availability
Solution: Change Default Setting
Exploit: Exploit Available
Disclosure: OSVDB Verified

Solution

 Immediately after installation, change all default passwords to a unique and secure password. When possible, change default accounts to custom names as well.
