The theft of ADSL accounts once caused a great deal of repercussions on the network. Hackers can steal passwords when surfing the Internet in their homes, today, we will strengthen our computer and Modem settings to prevent password theft.
Hardware settings
Currently, many adsl modem networks support the routing function, which makes it easy for multiple computers to share the Internet, but also leaves a security risk for others to intrude into the computer, because the ADSL Router has serious security vulnerabilities.
To achieve vrotelnet Remote Management, vrouters generally provide two remote control methods. The first method is TELNET, which is a common form of network service, the other is to open port 80 through the vro to achieve Remote Control of the vro by the browser.
In this case, we can see where the problem is. Now we can modify the ADSL settings. First, modify the password settings when the router leaves the factory, and modify some weak security passwords. Open the browser, enter the factory IP address of the router, and then the Enter Password dialog box appears. Enter the password to go to the settings page and modify the password.
Next, go to the MODEM management interface. After logon, you have the administrator privilege. You can reset and restart the MODEM, and then re-Modify the password that is not secure enough. It should be noted that although many routers provide NAT functions, users who are not particularly familiar with the TCP/IP protocol should use this function with caution to avoid further troubles.
Software settings
The security vulnerabilities in the operating system are often easily exploited by hackers. When we are unable to change the general environment, we have to achieve the highest security level by setting as complete as possible.
First, prohibit the use of the Guest account. There are many people whose passwords are leaked. After installing WINDOWS systems, there will always be some hidden shares. If GUEST is infiltrated, it is not difficult for many people to obtain the administrator password through these shares.
Disable all unused services provided by the operating system. The more information you expose, the easier it is to be hurt by hackers. It is also very important to disable the hole link. All users can access the Internet through an empty link, get the account and guess the password.
I have mentioned one word in various articles, that is, only your security awareness can save you, and all the software is just an ornament. Remember this sentence.
