Foe the network security class at ASA college of technology , one of the most common attack against router is: Denial of service.
However, much more common attacks are: * WEP Cracking * CSRF on web based router configuration * XSS on web based router configuration * Enumeration of private router data * Packet sniffing, searching for sensitive data The best way to prevent these attacks is:
# Configure your router to use WPA encryption # Change the default password on your router # Change the management port on your router to something non-standard (if supported)
