Securing a LAN network


Wireless technology and the multitude of devices that require Internet connection led to exponential growth in the number of housing networks in Romania. Moreover, most Internet service providers in the country offers wireless equipment in custody over the course of the contract, which makes them obişniuţi users own network administrators, whether on multiple devices using the connection or not.
Most security incidents are caused by lack of password to connect to the wireless network or using ineffective security algorithms such as WEP.
But local network security is not just about protecting network access via wireless technology. A significant number of attacks occur remotely by exploiting vulnerabilities in the firmware for network routers personal or brute-forcing.


Immediately change your password and user name that is supplied router.
Most routers are configured to operate as soon as they are out of the box and connected to the mains voltage. These devices come with a default username and password for each brand separately, so everyone knows the router manufacturer may try to connect to the remote management interface using the default credentials provided directly by the manufacturer of the router.

Turn right option remote router management.
Most routers have an option for remote management. It is enough that an attacker knows your public IP to call remote management interface of the browser. If this option is enabled by default, the attacker will be able to find make and model of your router and you will know what kind of exploits to run to avoid authentication mechanisms or to directly modify the router configuration.

Make sure you are running the latest firmware.
Unlike operating systems, routers firmware is updated rarely or not at all, leaving some open security holes, even if they are known. Make sure you have the latest firmware from the manufacturer's website. If the manufacturer no longer provides updates for your model, direct you to a third-party firmware such as OpenWRT or DD-WRT.

Check permanent access logs and router settings.
Even when taking precautions, it is possible that your router security to be compromised by a previously unknown technique exploitation or WAN interface, or by operation of your computer. Inspect your router settings, especially the DNS servers used by the router. A potential remedy which he could alter DNS servers have the effect of diverting various sites on servers hosting phishing pages or malware.

Do not neglect the physical security of the router
Physical security of the network is as important as software security, especially when the router is located in a common area. Network equipment for home users or small offices provide access to the wired network. It is essential to make sure that no unauthorized person can enter a network device or a computer router. The easiest way to solve this involves the use of electronic boxes with locks or the location of the router in an enclosed space (closet or cupboard for equipment).

Bandwidth Control

Bandwidth control is done using NetWorx application. It collects (after it is installed) information on the internet. The application also has three modules. The first is that it shows netstat information found in the network. The second deals with ping and measure the response time between servers, etc. The latter is traceroute which show route packets to a specific server.

AutoCAD Alternative - free


Software - DraftSight - allows working with designs created with other programs in the field. It is a technical application. The only downside is that they take more resources. Should note, however, that it is free.
You must enter your email address in field "Activation" during installation to receive an activation email.

Android utility

The utility can automate and use applications ie open or close them, or settings on the light, vibration.

Signs of an android virused

They can send one message once a month to not arouse suspicion or a strike can automatically uninstall the proportions in the budget user.
