NEED HELP PROTECTING ROUTER ASAP by Lou on 02-14-2006 at 10:26 PM

As some of you may know, a thread was made by me in t & t saying I was gay and that I had just notified my parents of this. This is not true. After finding out that the post was made using this ip address I freaked out.

I need to protect my router. My router is a D-link DI-624 Wireless (but I don't use the wireless feature)

ALL HELP IS APPRECIATED.

edit: Turns out it's most probably a server side problem, or a script by -dt- so It's not my router. Sorry, was scared there.

I doubt it has got something to do with your router :p. As other people had the same thing you had ;).

Make sure that you have DMZ disabled on your router, make sure that you are using a decient encryption strength if your router has wireless. Don't open ports for no reason, or if you had to open a port for a program that isn't in use anymore, remove the forward. Use a firewall, disable remote administration to your router (Lets you access your router from outside your house). CHange your router password, disable SSID broadcast, um... *thinks* make sure you have the newest firmware for your router... anything else I missed guys?

Most of that stuff I have no idea how to do seeing as this is a new router.

Might try calling DLink

Just turn off the wireless if you don't use it :P

Umm, don't go to dodgy sites that will have dodgy scripts that post stuff as you.
If you really feel like beeing a newb, ban yourself from the internet until wdz codes the hash into the posting form, then you will be safe ;)

Who says I went to a dodgy site with a dodgy script?

EDIT: Read first post. No more worries probably

Because when you think about it, both you can jaguar made the exact same thread, dt has made a script that can do this, and dt said that people where messing about with his scripts.
So lets consider the alternative.
Someone hacked both you and jaguar, just to post a thread where you come out of the closit, and the fact that there is a script that can do this also happens to be in use at the moment is just a co-incidence.

Did any forum members link you to a page on a forum members server around the time the thread was posted?

Oddly enough though, I wasn't even home when that was posted.

edit: correction, I was. Now, I think I know who made the script.

Or use a password protection if your router lets you do that.
