KT Olleh Wi-Fi Modem (KM04-112H) - Security concerns

This is an information provided as a way to show people why they need to change their passwords.
Please do not use this information for nefarious purposes.

So, this is a router from Korea Telecom (KT Olleh), a big telco from South Korea.
This router is quite old, from 2013. I happened to get 8 of those from the dumpster.
This is an auto-setting router, which automatically sets its settings up when it first boots up or when "Wireless Auto Setup" button is pressed.
It has about 64 megabytes of DDR2 SDRAM and onboard storage of approximately 128MB.
It uses RTL8198T SoC.
It is manufactured by Mercury, a Chinese company specializing in making telco stuff.

Here's the circuit board:

  So, since this is almost a "fool-proof" router which just works when it's plugged in, you might assume it at least has some sort of security features so wannabe hackers can't easily peep into the private life of people who are using this, right?

The answer is, no.

First of all...
This thing has telco backdoors.

Look at this translation of the sticker on the backside of this unit.

 
Yes. It literally says "[...] This device may be remotely controlled [...]"
(Read: Hack me please, I don't give a fuck about customer's security and privacy and I can't be bothered to put in some kind of verification steps)

Second, the default passwords and AP SSID is comparable to the practice lock being on a bank safe.

Let me explain it to you.

So here's the pretend MAC address of the router:
00:AF:DE:D5:EC:0D

And you want to guess the password.
Here's what you do:
1. Put six zeroes in first.
PW: 000000
2. Type in last 4 letters from the MAC address right after that.
PW: 000000EC0D
3. Blammo, you just h4x0r'd the router.
>_


AP SSID is generated like this:
KT_WLAN_XXXX
X is 4 letters from the MAC address again, but this time the filter is different:
XX:XX:XX:12:X3:4X
Number 1 through 4 is where the name generator looks for characters to use.
Thus, using the MAC address from above, the SSID is:
KT_WLAN_D5C0

So basically these guys did what TP-LINK did with their routers, opening them to hackers.
MAC address can be found in like 10 seconds after receiving a single packet from the router.
Don't use it to generate passwords!!!!

Help needed: Optional personal donations

By law, I must tell you that:
1. This is not going to any charity.
2. This is for my "personal" gain. That means, it's for my family.
3. You are most likely to get no tax deductions.
4. This is completely optional and you will not get any disadvantage for not donating.
5. You will not get any incentives for donating for now.

My family is having hard time dealing with shared expense of college (my parents did this so I don't have to deal with student debt) because our income is running below $2000/mo and our monthly living expenses are about 1800$, and the college has demanded $3740 at an instant.
My sister is in college too and the college she has gone to demands $2750 (though it is supported by the government fund so it's more like $1490)
I would really appreciate if you donate some money (any amount higher than $0.01) to me, or donate any gear I need but you want to get rid of.

Please contact me at 🇷🇺n7⃣8⃣3⃣3⃣📧g✉▪c⏺m for inquiries.
(🇷🇺=ru, 📧=@, ✉=mail, ⏺=o)
It is also connected to my PayPal account so you can send your money to it.

Thanks for reading, good morning/night/day/week/year!

For Honor review (again): Weeb Unfairness Gallore

If you do not want to read my ramblings, here is a summary of what I want to say:

NERF SAMURAI.

Seriously. If I am playing as Vikings and opponent is Samurai, their sheer amount of speed is placing players so unfairly over me.

I try to attack the opponent but by the time I am able to do second attack, he already slashed me three times!

How's that fair?!

At least pit me against some fair opponent -- like a slower one!

How the hell am I supposed to win if my maximum speed is around 30km/h and theirs is 420km/h?!

Are you kidding?

 

It's like comparing lawnmower and Apache attack helicopter.

Both have blades, yes, but one is super fast and one is slow!

I'd stick my hand into a shark tank and cut myself with a razor blade!

What is this?!

 This is seriously unfair!

And they even have a stunning effect on top of that!

So by the time my character finally regains control and tries to attack, the opponent has already taken away 75% of my health!

This is ridiculous!

Color me surprised, the game is good, 

but if this issue is not resolved, 

I don't think I will be playing this after the beta period.

This is a SERIOUS problem.

 If this is not fixed, everyone will be playing as Samurai.

Why? Because that's the only way to win!

For Honor (Beta) : First Impressions & Game Engine Performance

After few painful hours trying to set my dead hard disk aside and install new Windows 7 on my workstation, 

I finally managed to get this thing working.

Oh, of course the game was 100% fine, but the first drive I tried installing to was defective. 

So here goes another 4 hours.

(Fuck Seagate)

What were we talking about...ah, yes. For Honor Beta.

Man, this game is beautiful. Not The Witcher 3 beautiful, but Watch Dogs 2 beautiful.

The intro, the interface, everything.

That's what I expected from Ubisoft.

Even with "High" setting and using up 98% of VRAM on my graphics card,

(which is GTX760 non-Ti version w/ 2GB VRAM)

It ran super smoothly at 60 frames per second.

Unfortunately I arrived too late and the multiplayer seems to be nonfunctional, I really enjoyed it.

This is like Chivalry: Medieval Warfare mixed with beautiful storytelling of Assassin's Creed on steroids.

The graphics were superb, with sharp and clear textures and modeling with no obvious polygons visible.

The story was interesting too; From what I have understood, some disaster happened and many people died in three kingdoms. 

Surviving warriors have fought for life, but as they fought for many, many years the true meaning of the war faded into history. 

As they realized this war is meaningless, they tried to stop fighting for a moment...and here's where the narrator comes in. 

Oh boy. The Warmonger. Plot twist!

(Not her actual name but that's what she does; causing war everywhere she goes!)

Her soldier shoots an arrow to the Viking warrior's chest and he gets angry.

And they start fighting again!

Aaaaand now the game starts on training stage.

It teaches you basics of the gameplay -- dodging, blocking, attacking and other things.

They're well-written and easy to understand once you actually get to try them out.

You need fair amount of mouse movement to actually use the blocking and since it does not register direct backwards movement, you can reseat your mouse and reposition your hands quickly.

So basically it borrows some elements from well-known games like Overwatch and aforementioned Chivalry: MW with added functionalities.

No, not a blatant copy. It is actually well put together and unlike cheap knock-off games, it feels like original feature.

I really liked the Guard Position Marker (three-pronged icon that is in shape of a shield which is also used for loading indicator and other things) since it makes it really easy to see where the opponent is on guard.

Dodge rolling is not as smooth as "Game-like" rolling, but life-like. You can't roll that fast with all that armors!

Movement is similar to The Witcher 3's vanilla movement set; very realistic and fluid.

Some people might find it strange though. (Those people use Faster Movement mode on TW3)

That's all I remember from the gameplay aspect. Now onto the performance!

(Excuse me for the JPEG; I forgot to check "Save Uncompressed Copy" and they came out like SHIT.)

This is what the automatic settings looked like during the tutorial.

And this is how it performed in Benchmark:

 In this setting:

 It performed extremely well!

 ...Until there was some smoke cloud on the scene.

Just for shits & giggles, I set almost everything to the maximum (without SSAO):

 Color me surprised! It's not so bad!

 Now, onto the graphical problem.

On this view, the flaps on the helmet were jiggling like something you see on Garry's Mod videos.

Well, that's it!

Holy tits, it was incredibly stable AND polished!

I was really surprised by how solid everything was -- gameplay, graphics, performance...everything!

It was just right for releasing on time.

Good job, Ubisoft!

I love it!

Score: 9/10

Very Good!

I will wait for the official release and consider buying it.

Banned from Reddit: What a load of bullshit!

Just look at this madness.

Fuck the censors, I don't give a fuck now.

So this guy banned me because that motherfucker said there is a keylogger inside my archive.

 

So I messaged the mod who just banned me, and this is the whole conversation. 

(Click to see)

 

The proof? Here:

 

And this is the post before pruning.

I ranted on it few times.

 

Aftermath:

I hope you get zapped by counterfeit charger so hard you come flying through the ceiling and land on a wiener car.

FUCK YOU.

p.s. Now fucking kill yourself.
I can do moderation WAY better than you, and I can handle situation WAY better than you. You chickened your way out, and you will pay for that. Do you think you can do something like that and live just like you did before? Hell no, I will come to your place and I will wreck everything you love. I will pull your power out while streaming, I will fucking snap every single drives you have, I will get all of your goddamned storage devices and remove SIM cards so your fucking thing is no longer traceable, and I will rip every single file on your goddamned drive and sell it to crooks so they can do bad things to your life. Oh, you have security system? Now you don't, I will destroy every and any recording devices including your puny ass ADT alarm. Do you think that teeny tiny bell can scare me? Oh boy, you guessed it wrong! I know where people install such thing and I will put 320 volts on every single wire so every part of your system will blow up. You have security camera? Now you don't. I will take down all and any cameras and network devices, cut the power to your home and put link wires on every single mains plug you have. Even if you have UPS, I will remove that thing and throw it out the window. Your recordings will be destroyed on site and hex key will not stop me. All I need is an axe and sledgehammer, and I know how to destroy evidences. That means, you are fucked.
 (actually, this shit is over and I don't really care about you, Mr.Nobody.)
