Proposed title of article

Conducting a router penetration test

Proposed article introduction

Routers are a priority target of network attacks. Hackers look for vulnerabilities in routers. They then use the vulnerabilities they find to conduct attacks. It is essential to know how they look for these vulnerabilities in order for us to fix them before they are exploited.

In this tutorial, we are going to use routersploit to conduct vulnerability analysis. We are going to be using Kali Linux throughout the tutorial. Anyone using Parrot operating system can follow through.

Key takeaways

• Installing routersploit on Kali Linux.
• Installing python 3-pip on Kali Linux.
• Stepwise process of conducting a router penetration test.
• Security measures to take to avoid this kind of network attack.

Article quality

This article will be more in-depth. It will also be beginner-friendly.

This article will also cover in detail the modules present in routersploit framework. In addition, besides showing how to analyze the routers for vulnerabilities it will also give the readers handy tips on how to secure their routers.

Routersploit can be used for malicious activities as well. And installing Python should not be a key takeaway. Thank you for submitting your topic.
