Once bug hunting becomes a race of known misconfigurations and CVE detection, automation is required:
“Bug Hunting Hub” is a Telegram channel with my notes and bot notifications.
Earlier, I’ve already published information about the critical vulnerabilities and backdoors in D-Link DIR-620 (RevG), that I’ve discovered and submitted to the vendor. The D-Link DIR-620 routers is a model of router, that popular in Russia and CIS countries (most home routers are located behind their ISP’s NAT, which is why these routers don’t appear in the statistics) due to one of the ISPs delivered to its customers (this conclusion is based on the fact that the router is provided as part of the standard customer contract and the hardcoded credentials contain the name of the ISP in the login string).
“If you want to change the world, start with yourself.” In the case of security research this can be rephrased to: “If you want to make the world safer, start with the smart things in your home.” Or, to be more specific, start with your router — the core of any home network as well as an interesting research object. And that router you got from your ISP as part of your internet contract is even more interesting when it comes to research.
