Router Firmware Reverse Engineering and Backdooring
The firmware of TP-Link router is downloaded from the internet. The reverse engineering of the firmware is done with binwalk and firmware-mod-toolkit. After extraction, a suitable payload is generated via Metasploit based on the firmware in suitable elf format. After payload generation, the payload is binded with /etc/init.d file or with any other scripts in that directory. The modified firmware is finally compiled and put together. After the flashing of the firmware in the router, the msf reverse shell is obtained from the router to the attacker machine and a command shell is attained.
