Router identification tool

The fact that a router supports HNAP may not be visible in its administrative interface. Worst of all, HNAP often can not be disabled. Four strikes, you're out. Of course, every router has two IP addresses one on the public side and one on the private side. I suggest testing for HNAP on each.

You can learn your public IP address at many websites, such as ipchicken. For the LAN side of a router, see my Sept. See sample output. If it fails, there will be some type of error about the web page not being able to be displayed, perhaps a Not Found error. If HNAP is enabled, try to turn it off in the router administrative interface and then test again.

You may not be able to turn it off. For more, see the HNAP page. What was not revealed was a simple way for Linksys owners to check if their routers were vulnerable. This has the advantage of not needing to know the router password. For the E, if the firmware is at or below version 2. For the E, if the firmware is at or below version 3. Owners of other E Series Linksys routers are on their own.

In these examples, 1. In June we learned that 79 different Netgear devices shared the same flaw. If you have a Netgear router, try this URL. If it returns information about your router, look for the most recent firmware. Hopefully, it will have been released after June At the time when the flaw was made public June 15, Netgear had done nothing regarding a fix.

In October we learned of 10 D-Link routers with critical flaws that will not be fixed. In January we learned of two information disclosure bugs in some Cisco routers. More details are on the Bugs page. If the URL below shows details about your Cisco router, that is bad. A good result returns nothing but an error message. Here is a sample of a bad result. If you own a Netgear router, it can't hurt to check for information leakage with the URL below. It may leak the device serial number.

Many Netgear routers had a security flaw in December see here and here for more. The command below tests a Netgear router. If this results in a web page with the word "Vulnerable", then the router is vulnerable. Netgear has issued fixes for all vulnerable routers. In September , security firm Embedi found port open on many D-Link routers. It responds to commands such as one to reboot the router. They did not find any way to close the port. The default IP address is If there is a video surveillance system on your LAN, then hopefully it was not made by Xiongmai.

In October , SEC Consult published a big expose about the many ways these systems are not secure. The number of security flaws is huge. They also offer other suggestions for identifying Xiongmai hardware. SEC Consult feels that the security is so bad it can not be fixed and that the hardware should be discarded. A modem is a computer and it too, can have bugs. Chances are the modem as an IP address such as If nothing else, you should try to access the modem by its IP address so that technical information about your Internet connection is available to you.

Also, you want to see what information is available without a password, some modems expose too much. If there is a password, then change it from the default. An error viewing the page is the good result.

See a video of this hack. Again, an error is the good result. For better security, a router may be able to block access to the modem by blocking its IP address. I blogged about modem access from the LAN side of a router in February While it can be helpful to directly access the modem, it can also be dangerous. See Talk to your modem and Using a router to block a modem. Some routers can do this, some can not.

Dumbed down routers, such as the consumer mesh systems eero, Google Wifi, Ubiquiti AmpliFi, etc can not do this. A great way to see if a modem is accessible from the LAN side is to ping it using the command below.

Hopefully, the command fails. Failure is the secure outcome. The simplest command is nmap I know of no reason for IPv6 to be enabled on a home router. If it is enabled on yours, try to disable it then verify that it's really off.

All the sites below are only available via HTTP. Technically, WebRTC is not a router thing, it is a web browser thing. This section is here just for the heck of it. Anyone using a VPN needs to run these tests. If you use more than one browser, you need to run these WebRTC tests on each one.

Some routers have been hacked to generate income from showing ads. This website has no ads. If you see any ads while viewing this web page, then something has been hacked.

Perhaps your router, perhaps your computer, perhaps your web bowser. If you are trying to block ads and trackers, then Eduard Ursu has an adblock tester page at d3ward. Firewall Testers top Level setting: Every computing device on the Internet is assigned a number.

The public IP address of your router is: Not Found is good, open ports are bad. For more about this see the Shodan page. See what Censys. Best response is "no publicly accessible services" Further tests of your public IP address are available on the Shodan page. Steve Gibson's Shields UP! Stealth is the best status. Closed is OK. Open is bad news. Start with the "Common Ports" test which tests ports: 0, 21, 22, 23, 25, 79, 80, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , and Then, move on to the "All Service Ports" which tests all the ports from zero to and takes about 70 seconds to run.

If all is well, it will say "Passed" in green and the status of every port will be "stealth". The passing grade also means that the router does not reply to Ping commands on the WAN port.

A perfect report looks like this. It tests one port at a time and will test any port. It says nothing about TCP vs. No UDP. You can enter either a target IP address or computer name and the list of tested ports can be customized. Fing also runs on iOS and Windows. If you register and create an account, then it scans ports. Only a summary report is provided, something like "All 85 scanned ports on youripaddress are filtered 54 or open filtered 31 ".

If you opt for common ports, it scans: 21, 22, 23, 25, 53, 80, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , and It uses nmap terminology, so filtered means stealth. Network Port Checker and Scanner Tool at ipfingerprints. And, you can test any online device, not just the router you are connected to.

It also has some advanced features. It is based on nmap and uses nmap terminology rather than simple English. They offer a translator from nmap to English. You can query any website or IP address but only a small number of nmap features are available. You may need to create a free account. The Fast scan option scans the most popular ports.

It uses nmap with version detection enabled. This router bit is mostly used on bed stands. These router bits are used as molding tools to Cut half-round grooves for fluted moldings, columns, and millwork. Note that on cutting with the core box router bit, it produces a semi-circular indent on the surface it is applied on. The corner beading bits produce three different profiles which are an edge bead—with or without a fillet—and a full corner bead and this is achieved by changing the extension when in use.

This tool is usually used to provide antique decorations to flat edges when needed. It also comes in different radiuses.

As the name suggests, the handgrip plunger is designed for forming and edging internal hand-holds and cut-outs in a single pass. The bit is basically used to design holds on flat surfaces which can be seen on flat surfaces. The handrail router bit is used to shape flat surfaces in such a way that it creates a knob or rail that can serve as a handle for human use.

The device is usually employed on shaping desks and cupboards to provide handrails for use. Like most bits, it comes with multiple radiuses which make it a versatile tool type. This is an ideal tool for routing out hard or softwood for as the user sees fit. On application, the tool provides a radial cut with two straight edges on either side. This is a design tool used in routing out leaf-like shapes on flat surfaces in order to provide beautiful designs on furniture surfaces.

The leaf-edge beading router bit does this by creating a horizontal slice and two beads at each side of the slice. They come in different sets that produce varying leaf designs and flat surfaces and edges. The louver router bits are used to cut shapes resembling a series of closed window louvers. A tool is basically a design tool which can be used to decorate chair and stool legs as well as other flat furniture surfaces.
