Router session in D-Link http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r22662175 en Wed, 10 Feb 2010 08:29:32 EDT Wed, 10 Feb 2010 08:29:32 EDT Re: Router session http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22665297 anon : Well... It dosen't keep all the internet activity logs like you say ;)

But, in the case of the belkin, it simply says, oh! Someone logged in... So I am unlocked until someone logs off or some time of inactivity...

No sessions, no cookies... no IP or MAC address table... nothing...]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22665297 Tue, 07 Jul 2009 02:04:06 EDT Re: Router session http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22665233 Dude111 : Its kinda disturbing the router keeps ANY INFO about anything you do online!!]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22665233 Tue, 07 Jul 2009 01:32:03 EDT Re: Router session http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22665168 anon : Even worse....

I tried with the belkin (i,m not at home now...)

And If I log in with a computer, I don't have to with the other and I am logged in...]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22665168 Tue, 07 Jul 2009 01:18:48 EDT Re: Router session http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22664543 anon : More than this... Let's imagine this setup

internet ----- router 1 ----- router 2 ----computers 1 and 2

So... If I use the computer 1 to log into router 1... The router 1 will se the ip and mac of router 2...

So if someone on the computer 2 goes on the config pages of the router 1, this person will be already logged in??????...

Seems like a small, yet plausible (even if it can't be very dangerous) security flaw....]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22664543 Mon, 06 Jul 2009 22:41:35 EDT Re: Router session http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22664560 anon : N

As I said... I can log in with firefox and use IE after.... It still works...]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22664560 Mon, 06 Jul 2009 22:41:31 EDT Re: Router session http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22664556 nwrickert :
I tried other routers... My linksys uses simple http authentification... So it dosen't use cookies but If I close firefox, it will close the "connection"...

But I tried on a belkin and same thing... Close the browser, close everything, clear all connections, cache, cookies.... It still remembers me... HOW!....
That does not happen to me. If I close the browser, and restart it, then I have to login again.

Possibly you have configured some "fast start" option in firefox, so that when you close the browser it does not exit the running program - it only closes the window. Or you have multiple firefox windows, and you only closed one of them.

This is weird...]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22664493 Mon, 06 Jul 2009 22:30:52 EDT Re: Router session http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22664485 Mister_E : Is it possible that when you close your browser, you haven't actually logged out of the router (there may be a log out option somewhere). The router will then start a timeout countdown based on your last interaction with it. It also remembers your local ip and if the countdown hasn't expired, it simply allows the connection from that same ip through.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22664485 Mon, 06 Jul 2009 22:26:37 EDT Re: Router session http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22664446 anon : MAC address maybe???...]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22664446 Mon, 06 Jul 2009 22:21:37 EDT Re: Router session http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22664429 anon : If I login with firefox, I can use explorer and it still works.... Until I reboot the router OR I wait for long enough...

Dlink tech support said to me that this was normal and that the session was stored in the router and that it will be closed with some time...

But that doesn't tell me how it works...]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22664429 Mon, 06 Jul 2009 22:18:34 EDT Re: Router session http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22664375 Dude111 : I dunno how that can be.....

Try clearing your cookies with Disk cleaner and please let us know then :)

Try a different browser, and/or use task manager or ps to see if all running instances of your browser are really terminated when you close the browser window.

It would help if you actually had told us what browser/router/OS you were using, because without that information all you will get for answers to your question is guesses.

Normally, there is information saved in a cookie, or in memory as session data. If you saved session state, then restarted the browser to resume the session, that might explain it. Otherwise it is strange.

I just have a little question since yesterday...

When I log on to my router ( a simple dlink) I type in my password, and I am logged... There is nothing stored on my machine like cookies....

Then, how can the router know that it is still me even if I close the browser and go to the same page again? (I don't have to log in again...)

So... If someone can help me ;)

Thanks
