Couple of things to be taken care of when using The Best DSL service in Mumbai.
- Please change router password from default "admin".
By going into the router--->Status, I can get my router's IP address.
The first thing u do with a new host / service is change ALL default passwords.
If I keep trying the IPs directly in ascending or descending serial order, sure enough I will reach other routers and where the default password is admin. Not that I can gain anything out of it,
U can rig the firewall rules to allow forwarding and gain access to the host. Hopefully people have a sane password + policy on the host to prevent access.
but can fiddle around with the settings and make it difficult for the other person. OR simply enable remote telnet management/web management and try and exploit those. Changing the admin password is a good first step.
- The login/password (phone number/CA number) will work from any
modem/location which has DSL enabled.
Change the password from the ca number to something else.
Does it warrant sending it to the papers?
I think not. With the number of clueless m$ users around u would have major problem. U are going to have a major problem anyway, but why precipitate it.
