Android phone hacking into my Wifi
5 points by xsofiixx 3444 days ago
Hey everybody Someone keeps entering my wifi, although I changed its name and password multiple times. I can see the name of the android which is the initial name, smth like android-638cf639cj397.

So I was wondering if there is any way I could find out who that guy is...?

I dont know what I should use as password, my password is pretty long, had nothing to do with my wifis name, it consists of capital letters and normal letters as well as numbers.

Any tips on how to make my wifi more secure?

Thank you in advance

Control access to your wi-if network by forcing approval of your device mac addresses?
Thank you for the input, I just activated Mac-filter. I hope it helps :)
Mac can be cloned.
If you already use WPA2, WPS is disabled and your password is strong, then one of your devices in your network is compromised.

Most likely: the WiFi router itself.

Do you have WPS enabled by any chance?

There are quite a few routers vulnerable to WPS attacks.

Audit yourself with something like: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tester.wps...

The WPS is not enabled. I will have a look on that, thank you!
Possible is another device in your home. May be a camera?
I do have a ebook! But would the ebook be called "android-random_numbers"? But anyway I will check that, thank you!
there is more devices that can show on your network.. did you have any tv video box? or wireless device on the tv?
