After you hacked a router

[blackrat]

Hello i have a question. And yes i have googled it. Many times. After you have gained access to a router what is the next step ? i know about Mitm(Not all of it)  but are there anything else that could be done.

This just shows your lack of knowledge, creativity and willpower.

But...

Very much depends on the router itself. If it's cheap shit and you cannot come close to the wifi zone, then you can't do much. More expensive or more widely used routers have SSH access which allows to do all kinds of cool stuff, however often you'll be dropped a limited shell...

What did you think of that?
To me it is bullshit, because there is no poc or technical details.
If fact, this was removed TWICE from /r/netsec for that very reason.
It's like just a guy being like, "I can own all your routers, something cookie something, Here's a cool name with a logo."

I don't know the validity of it, but the site made me think it's serious, however if it's THAT serious, I haven't heard any news about it. It just popped in hacker news YTcombinator during my lunch break, so...

I'm really getting tired of this shit. Every time we see a skid asking how to do this and how to do that.

Change the DNS server to one that you control. Then, run SET with credential harvester and prosper.
