wrt54g.jpg imageOkay, this on is a little hard to follow, but it's worth it, so stick with me. Amazon has the Linksys WRT54G Wireless-G router (the one that runs Linux that you can flash with the magic firmware to make it do all sorts of interesting tricks) bundled with a Wireless-G notebook card for $108 (there's a "Better Together" link on the product page). If you buy both, you can use the $10 rebate on both to save $20, then go on to qualify for a $20 gift certificate on future Amazon shopping.

So basically you're getting a really nice, tinker-ready Wi-Fi router for $68 with free shipping. Not a bad deal at all, but if you still aren't seeing why this is a good deal, you probably wouldn't want one in the first place.

wrt54g.jpg imageHeads up, ye owners of the popular Linksys WRT54G Wireless-G Broadband Router. Even if you disable remote administration, the router will still allow users sharing your WiFi network to access administration web pages. That's not the end of the world unless you haven't changed your admin password, which if you're like most of us, coddled by fire-and-forget technology, you probably haven't. If you aren't taking any more steps to secure your router, at least do yourself a favor and change the default password to something else, preferably not the name of a pet, child, or the lady down the hall you've been sleeping with that you think, hey, nobody knows about but really, seriously, we all totally know.

Update: Looks like it's not quite as bad as it could be, as the exploit only works if the built-in firewall has been disabled (it defaults to on). Still, wouldn't this be a great time to verify your settings?

06/02/2004 01:16 PM
Tech consultant discovers that Linksys WRT54G allows remote, over-the-Internet administration login even when remote management is turned off: Because all broadband gateway vendors ship their equipment with default passwords like public or admin, this vulnerability is moderately critical according to the Secunia security consultants. An automated attack could scan millions of home broadband network addresses and feed them the WRT54G Web login sequence. With remote administrative access, the most that could happen is vandalism: the Linksys doesn't provide tools via its Web interface for packet sniffing, but someone could corrupt the setup and lock a user out by changing the password, requiring a hard reset. Also, Linksys' Web form appears to send the WEP or WPA password as hidden password text in a Web form, but that text is unencrypted in the HTML source, which can easily be viewed....

Linksys Offers "Free" Router with Vonage

Linksys Offers "Free" Router with Vonage
Sign-up
06/17/2005 03:19 PM
Linksys has an interesting deal to tie in Vonage subscribers with hardware sale: If you purchase a Linksys WRTP54G, their Vonage-enabled two-phone-line 802.11g router, you can receive a total of $130 in separate rebates with a trade-in. Here's the run-down: buy the WRTP54G from a participating merchant with your intent to sign up for Vonage's voice over IP service. The merchant will offer $20 off as a mail-in or instant rebate. (Amazon.com is offering it as an instant rebate, bringing the initial cost down to $110 from $130.) Next, fill out the $10 Linksys mail-in rebate for the unit itself. The merchant will include the form or allow you download it to print out. This $20 and $10 rebate don't require the Vonage purchase, but it would be odd to buy this model without planning on using Vonage. Signing up for Vonage brings a $50 mail-in rebate after 90 days of service, while trading in any older wireless router (no particular types are defined) adds another $50. The Amazon.com downloadable form lets you apply for both rebates at the same time. That's a lot of hoops to go through, and it's not quite free--you'll spend about $5.00 on postage and photocopying, and possibly an hour or two or your time filling out forms and mailing items. The router must be purchased by July 23 to qualify. The $10 rebate must be postmarked by Sept. 21 to qualify, while the $50 or $100 form must be postmarked no later than 60 days after the date of purchase on your invoice....

Linksys Posts Beta Firmware to Correct
Remote Admin Problem
06/04/2004 02:13 PM
Linksys has posted beta firmware for its WRT54G that closes a potential remote access hole in its security: The initial report indicated that remote administration of the WRT54G was possible out of the box. The consultant who reported the problem checked other WRT54Gs: if firewall protection is turned on (Linksys says this is the default and users confirm), then the remote issue is non-existent. However, some of the units that the consultant purchased to test had firewall service turned off out of the box. A Linksys spokesperson said that this release is labeled beta because other functionality changes are in progress and not yet finalized. Linksys' official statement reads, "For those rare few that do disable the firewall and turn off remote admin on their WRT54G, Linksys advises those users to download the latest beta firmware which is posted on the Linksys website." I just purchased a WRT54G to test out its default configuration, and I can confirm that I received a unit with firmware v2.02.2 (which predates the 2.02.7 March 2004 release), and that its firewall service enabled....

Linksys Sells Enterprise Security by
Subscription
06/03/2004 10:19 AM
Linksys offers WPA Enterprise for $4.95 per month per user: Linksys has partnered with Wireless Security Corporation (WSC) to offer purchasers of its WAP54G access point full enterprise-scale 802.1X authentication using WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) TKIP encryption keys. The deal allows Linksys purchasers to sign up during the WAP54G setup stage. The cost is $4.95 per user per month, or $3.99 per month per user for five or more users, the same rate offered directly through WSC. Vice president of marketing for WSC, Stu Elefant, said, "When you buy a WAP54G or CompUSA, it’s going to have Linksys Wireless Guard on the box, and a flyer in the box." The new setup for the WAP54G shows a range of security from weakest to strongest. Weakest is no encryption, followed by WEP, WPA Personal, WPA Enterprise, and Linksys Wireless Guard, their branded name for the resold WSC service. The WAP54G was chosen as the first device, WSC executives said, because it's a no-frills access point typically used on networks with slightly more technical resources in house. 802.1X works over the Internet just as readily as it does over a local network using most consumer-grade access points: the access point allows a pass-through of 802.1X authentication (acting as the "authenticator" in that transaction). WSC maintains the RADIUS equipment as part of their operations. With 802.1X authentication, each user on a network logs in with a unique user name and password. WSC allows management of these accounts via a secure Web interface to their system. Users cannot access the local network until a back-end authentication server confirms their credentials, notifies the access point, and assigns the user's computer a unique key, which is a WPA TKIP key in this case. The system can also rotate keys regularly to each user, further decreasing the chance of network compromise. 802.1X's method of communication is EAP (Encapsulated Authentication Protocol), which itself is not secured. WSC uses the Protected EAP (PEAP) flavor of embedding EAP inside an encrypted session to keep the authentication process secure from snooping. The Linksys and WSC system requires use of a custom client--currently available only for Windows XP and 200--for two reasons: first, WSC designed both automatic and manual fallover that switches to a static WPA key in the event of a disruption in Internet access or RADIUS server access, instead of a broken network or no encryption; and second, only Windows...

Linksys Log Viewer for OS X 1.5 (Default

03/29/2005 07:04 AM
Screenshot Linksys Log Viewer for OS X is a log viewer that captures SNMP traps sent out by the Linksys BEF series routers. The viewer parses the traps and reformats them into an easily displayable and understandable format for end users. MySQL support can be added for archival analysis and custom queries.
Changes:
This release no longer uses syslog to handle the traps, but now uses snmptrapd and formatting the incoming traps on the fly before writing them directly to the log file. In addition the port naming function was modularized so that incoming and outgoing traffic are handed off to the same function instead of two separate ones.
