When ye're lookin' tae get intae someone's or a business' WiFi network, ye need tae get intae the router's settings (admin panel) tae see whit devices are connected, their MAC addresses, and their names; this way ye can create a fake page that looks real fancy wi' aw the colours, logos, router/ISP name, and such. So when folk connect tae the network, they'll be asked tae download a "firmware" update for the router, but in truth they're gettin' a nasty RAT or ransomware instead, and BAMMM brou, ye've got yerself a compromise.
When ye're tryin' tae crack a wifi network and ye see the router's internal IP is 198.168.X.X., it means ye're on a home network where folk dinnae ken much aboot settin' things up, so 90% o' them will likely still be usin' the default logins like admin:admin, admin:password, admin:1234, and so on. Tae make this job easier, we hae these online lists o' words tae help us figure oot the default credentials based on the Router Manufacturer.
