"Router Guest Networks Lack Adequate Security, According to Researchers at Ben-Gurion University"
A new study conducted by researchers at Ben-Gurion University brings attention to the vulnerability of routers to cross-router leaks resulting from an attack on either a host or guest network. According to researchers, all of the routers examined in this study were vulnerable to cross-network communication as a result of the use of specially crafted network packets. Researchers have recommended a hardware-based solution to ensure that secure and non-secure network devices are isolated from each other as network separation and network isolation helps to prevent the infiltration of networks and the leakage of information. This article continues to discuss the findings of this study in regard to cross-router data leakage as well as the importance of network separation and network isolation in security.
