Wireless technologies are on the rise and network routers supporting IEEE 802.11 wireless access point security mechanisms have evolved over the many standards a/b/g/n/ac. While 802.11n and later wireless access points (routers) have incorporated better encryption than its predecessor’s a/b/g, security vulnerabilities still exist across all standards because of various reasons, weak default passwords in routers being one of them. Despite several researches on passwords and network security, router manufacturers and network users are still allowing passwords that are weak against
brute-force attacks.
