Description |
By default, many Belkin 54G 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 as the routers come preconfigured with remote telnet access enabled. |
