The author has always had a bad impression on wifi cracking and "forced sharing" products, which coincides with the rumor that the wifi master key is going to be launched recently, and almost all of them spent a lot of money on various soft, hard and wide products when searching.

Users who do not know the truth are easy to fall into the trap and lead to private wifi, or even the disclosure of personal privacy, so they feel it is necessary to conduct relevant security knowledge science popularization now.

What kind of software is this?

The wifi master key is to upload the wifi password so that software users can directly use the nearby encrypted wifi to access the Internet without entering the password. When users connect to encrypted wifi, they will upload the password of the wifi signal, as well as the mac code of routing, mobile phones, tablets and other devices to its database.

No matter whether the wifi is the Starbucks, tea restaurants or your home you have visited, as long as you accidentally share the wifi, all devices equipped with this software can directly connect to the wifi. Well, you are right. If you are not careful that your WiFi is shared, other users passing by can come to the Internet directly.

In addition, after the installation of the wifi master key, the user hotspot is automatically shared by default, and will be automatically backed up in the background. It is difficult for ordinary users to find that their wifi password has been leaked.

Is their product promotion credible?

At first, the author seldom commented on all kinds of scalping behaviors. After all, the water inside is too deep, but the soft advertising and publicity of the Wifi master key are also too fake. Any search on Baidu is suspected of official soft and hard advertising.

Of course, it is hard to find simple soft ads, but the data of "1 million new users, 500 million users and 230 million monthly active users every day, surpassing Alibaba Group" in the search results is obviously inflated.

You should know that the number of WeChat and QQ and other popular applications, even the number of smart phones in China, is only this magnitude. A wifi master key that you may not have heard of can never achieve such user volume.

What's more, "700 million secure and free WiFi hotspots can cover almost all regions, with a connection success rate of more than 80%, and the WeChat public account reading volume surpasses Durex to become the first" is even more ridiculous. Moreover, the relevant news reports are concentrated in the days after November 10, which has a serious suspicion of soft and wide hydrology.

No matter whether the WiFi master key is secure or not, their official integrity is already very worrying. When you open the software and see all kinds of obscure pornographic advertisements and public accounts, you can basically conclude that these products are not safe and have serious suspicion of "fishing". This company is even more unlikely to be approved for listing.

Risks and problems

First, the network speed may be slowed down. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, the wifi passwords of individuals and merchants are virtually non-existent after they are shared by the software Wifi master key. If there are many related users nearby, the network speed will be seriously slowed down.

The second problem is the security of private or commercial wifi devices. When others connect to your wifi, they can access or even modify the shared files on your device, which may be photos or other private files you share with your family.

Of course, the above is only inconvenient at most. The greater risk is the security of equipment and data.

If there are other premeditated users, when they connect to your wifi or the same wifi as you, they can easily monitor your mobile phones, computers and other devices, or even implant trojans and viruses. This is also an important reason for calling on people not to use Alipay and other important accounts on public wifi.

In addition, when others know your wifi password, and your routing administrator account password is native (it is estimated that 99% of routes have not changed the native administrator password), others can change your network settings or wifi password, or even limit the speed of your device "against customers".

The nature of shared wifi also gives many "fishing wifi" opportunities. Some hackers or criminals can attract other mobile computers to connect by deliberately sharing wifi. At this time, these "fooled" users are basically human fish.

Wifi master key is a great hidden danger for both individuals and businesses that provide wifi for customers.

How to prevent the network from being scratched and protect privacy

The most basic thing is to use wifi master key software carefully to prevent password leakage at the source. And when using this software, please do not enter the password of important software such as Alipay.

If you have accidentally opened or even shared a private wifi, you can look up the routing manual or go online to see how to change the wifi password. Generally, enter 192.168.1.1 in the browser, and the account password is admin. Follow the interface guidance to find the wifi name and password input box, and then modify them.

In addition, using WiFi master key software to illegally swipe the Internet and spy on privacy is a very clear illegal act. WiFi is valuable and the security price is higher.
