A common threat today is DNS hijacking; one of the ways in which it is
carried out is through unauthorized modifications of a router's configurations so that a third party can monitor, control, or redirect the traffic that is passing through the router.

This security lab teaches you how to easily check whether a router has fallen victim to DNS hijacking. This knowledge can help victims stop attacks early enough before any significant damage is done. For example, in a situation where a router's DNS has been hijacked, a quick test using this tool will detect the attack and recommend an appropriate cause of action. This will prevent a user from being redirected to fake versions of genuine sites, such as in online banking, where their records or login credentials can be stolen and used to access their bank accounts. The tool is also important because it detects vulnerabilities or misconfigured settings in routers that can be exploited by criminals to harm users.
