What use is getting access to the network these day anyway? Everything has moved to a model of not trusting the network or anything else on it. I guess they could cast something to your chrome cast?

The attack I worry about is neighbourhood teenagers using my internet connection for lolz.

I imagine them downloading movies and images that get me into trouble with the wife / LEAs / both.

How is your wife going to find out what has been downloaded over your network?

Yes you are both right to correct me.

I will get in trouble with my wife because the feds will rat me out to her for something stupid these hypothetical kids end up doing.

Are you sure everything has? Smart appliances in particular are typically terrible with security, so having access to their network certainly gives you an edge.

So what would a robber do with them? Turn off your refrigerator? Cancel your scheduled washing program? Install some malware?

Usually it's meth heads trying to steal something that is easy to grab not the CIA.

pffff a lot of routers dont even come with ssl on by default. So yeah getting into your network is a big thing. =)

Guys I mean it, i just bought a brand new fiber router (AVM fritz.box) and the first thing firefox would like me to do is to switch to the http version of said configuration page.

Chrome lets me add an exception for the box itself, but really how many end user do you know that will not click on "take me to the http version(unsafe)", when talking about their home router?

So given the fact that I am in your wifi, One could use dhcp (if active) for MITM attacks, grab the router password and install tracking daemons right on top.

Next step would be to forward the dns requests to one of mine so I can build a map of what sites you use and from there all I have to to is to make you accept an insecure ssl cert and done?
