kudos:1 | A lot of assumptions Wouldn't the attacker also need to know about your internal network addressing? Not only do they need to know the logon/password for your router but also the IP address. |

| If you are using your router as a DHCP server, this becomes very easy. |

Assuming settings are default:
If you know the victim's ISP; you probably know the router's internal address.
That's usually enough to guess the default password.
Some routers (at least the manufacturer) can be identified by a port probe.
How many of you authenticate to your router to monitor it as you browse the web with the same browser? I know I have.  |

Java is by default setup that it can inform the server of your internal IP address. It's not hard to guess the routers IP after this :P |
