Just finished dinner, 10pm. My mobile data plan just ended and I was nowhere near my home. Thought of turning on the wifi to check if there were any public wifi available nearby. There was one, but the signal was quite weak. Hence started checking out wifi's nearby. Thought I should try out some basic password combinations, like password123, wifiname@1234 and such. And guess what, it fucking worked. Not that it worked on only one wifi, it worked on 3 wifi!!! One of their password was their wifi name and 1-8 digit at the end. And one of them had literally their wifi name, but all in capital letters. It took 15 mins to get access to their wifi. From then on used one of the wifi for about 30 minutes, for browsing and stuff, wasn't signed into anything on my lineageOS. Then I thought, I should probably check to see if their was a way to let them know, they really need to enhance their security. And logged into their router, and surprisingly they didn't even changed their router default passwords. For a moment I thought if it were actually honeypots. But then again, saw 3-4 devices connected(different devices). This is what I did, I fucking changed their wifi name to 'CHANGEPASSNOW' and changed their password to a really long md5sum, which eventually lead them to reset the router and change their password. Hopefully they changed them to something strong this time since I couldn't log in with simple guesses.
People should use strong passwords. You!! if you're reading this, use a strong password. I suggest something larger than 15 letters, with symbols and alphanumeric characters. Please do that. Or at best, don't use wifi at all. Use ethernet if you can.
Have a nice day :(
