Cracking a password of Router with Hydra
Leaving your wireless router at its default settings is a bad idea. The sad thing is, most people still do it. Once they've penetrated your network, hackers will change your router settings so they'll have an easy way back in. This allows them to change your network into a shell or proxy so they can forward their traffic anonymously through you when committing other dirty deeds.
If you keep your wireless router at the defaults, then hackers can control your firewalls, what ports are forwarded, and more.
Now we're going to attack our routers. The default IP/URL to reach it at will be 192.168.1.1, so test that address in a browser to confirm it. If you get a dialog box, you've reached your router. This is running HTTP basic authentication.
1.cmd: xhydra
2.Enter 192.168.1.1 as your target.
3.Use http-get as the method.
4.Port 80.
5.Pick a word list saved on your computer.
6.Click start!
