Is this surprising?As you get what you pay for. It doesn't surprise me at all that the cheapest line of routers has some security flaws. D-Link is not a brand that I have ever considered anyway. |

No patches for older products.One of my clients uses a DI-604.. Which has kept them relativity secure(no successful direct outside attacks) for many years..
It's fast enough to keep up with my clients 6Mb/sec aDSL connection.
But the last firmware/backdoor update is dated 2008.. and it doesn't look like D-link is going to update it..
I guess it just confirms my suspicions and adds to my justification for picking up a pair of Dual band(5//2.4Ghz) net gear routers which I plan on flashing DD_WRT onto..
No more back doors.. Can/will be supported for a long time to come.
None of this two years after last sale and no more support crap. |

dd-wrt or OpenWrtOne reason I utilize dd-wrt/OpenWrt-compatible routers. |

Not all products are affected...This only effects those routers listed and doesn't effect much of anything else. All of those models listed are already Phased out and no longer developed on. The DIR-100 is still active however is only marketed in the EU. Check with D-Link if your really concerned about this on the phone. I'm sure not all products are affected. |

Why is this a problem?I thought ALL DLink products died 13 months after being out of the box! Every D-Link I have ever owned has crapped out within a year or so of purchasing. |

Re: Not shocking at allsaid by 88615298:Not shocking at all. It's D-Link I would think almost all programmers everywhere code in back doors to their systems just so that when level3 support has to get in to a screwed up system they have a way in. |

What is a "later-model" D-Link routerI don't know what either Karl or Justin consider a "later-model" D-Link router, but I just tested the three active D-Link routers on my network (DIR-601-A1, DIR-655-B1, and EBR-2310-C1) for both LAN and WAN access, and none of them paid any attention to the backdoor user-agent. If you have a D-Link router, and you are concerned about this backdoor revelation, just use a Mozilla based router with a user-agent changer add-on and test it. And if you want to test and make sure that your user-agent is correctly setup, feel free to use my » portscan.dcsenterprises. ··· nection! on-line html environment test. |

I think it only effects those older models that had this code. It was probably never removed as they when into Phase Out status and wasn't removed or fixed, and most of the other products now days are are different platforms which never had this problem. Thanks for sharing your results. |

Re: No patches for older products.Perhaps it's just my opinion, but DD-WRT support has been slipping as well, and for the past few years at that. Don't even get me started on Tomato. When pfSense 1.2.3 was released a few years back, I just went that route and haven't looked back. |

Re: Why is this a problem?Never had a single issue with either of the D-Links I've owned either, as far as crapping out anyway.
My sister still uses the first one I bought some 13 years ago, I believe. It does have one bad port on it that doesn't work.
Main reason I went with another brand is to be able to load Tomato on it, which isn't al it used to be cracked up to be anymore either. |

I think using 3rd party FW is fun and kewl to check out for us geek people. However one a daily basis for the avg Joe...Might be best to keep OEM FW.  |

My web server is being scanned...> If your browser’s user agent string is 'xmlset_roodkcableoj28840ybtide' (no quotes), you can access the web interface without any authentication and view/change the device settings," notes Heffner.
My web server is being scanned using that agent string. I was wondering why the scans started up all of a sudden.... |

RE: Backdoor D-Link RoutersI had two of their DIR-655 routers, the second was the replacement of the first and both turned out to be huge failures. After 3 -5 days the D-Link firmware would repeatedly lockup. And if that wasn’t enough I purchased a D-Link Ethernet switch and that failed only after a few months of service. Ultimately I ended up with a $60 TP-Link N router and flashed it with dd-wrt. The TP-Link has been up for just about three years and no problems whatsoever. I would suggest to the folks that have D-Link routers to go to the dd-wrt router-database and see if your device supports dd-wrt and use the suggested build of dd-wrt. Then learn how to install it,do the 30/30/30 reset, flash the router, reset again and configure it and then forget about it. D-Link’s firmware should be ranked amongst the worst. |

Re: Backdoor D-Link RoutersI've never had any problems with my DIR-655. Maybe you should try this and see if it helps any: » forums.dlink.com/index.p ··· =54498.0 Post if you want more help. D-Link FW works very well for others. Other variables can cause router problems, not just FW. |

D-Link FW works very well for others. Other variables can cause router problems, not just FW. Thanks but not interested. The ONLY way I’d ever go back to a D-Link router is if my router failed and I received a great deal on a DLink router that was compatible with dd-wrt or tomato. D-Link firmware was an epic failure here TWICE so no reason to go back, plus I like and some of the advanced features not found in retail routers |
