Introduction

TBFC's delivery drones loop endlessly over Wareville Square after someone accessed the company router using default credentials. Securing WiFi with strong, non-default passwords is critical—default credentials are equivalent to leaving the front gate wide open to attackers.

Password Minimum Requirements

• Minimum 12 Characters
• Must include Upper, lower, number, and symbol
• Not in common leaked list

Walk Through

1. Click view site to open the simulate router login page
2. The default credentials are admin:admin
3. Entered a new password for the portal administation based on best practices and minimum requirements
   1. Chose boogeyman4U!

Lessons Learned

• Learned critical WiFi security practices: default credentials must be changed immediately and replaced with strong passwords meeting minimum requirements (12+ characters, uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and symbols)
• Successfully secured the TBFC router by replacing the default admin:admin credentials with a strong password boogeyman4U!, demonstrating proper access control implementation
