This attack is determined by the particular router model that is detected during the reconnaissance phase. If there is no known exploit, the attack will attempt to use default credentials; otherwise, it will use known exploits to modify the DNS entries in the router and, when possible (observed for 36 fingerprints out of the 129 available), it will try to make administration ports available from external addresses. In this way, it will expose the router to additional attacks like those performed by the Mirai botnets.
