   Firmware version?

   It looks that way.  Before I got too worried, however, I might see if
I could get a response from the WAN/Internet side.  (_Really_ from the
outside world, not just from the LAN using the WAN/Internet IP address
-- NAT loopback might make that look as if it works when a real
outside-world connection will not.)

 

   If it _does_ work from the outside world, then I'd expect that a
port-forwarding rule with a nonexistent target server address ought to
block any actual outside-world connections to the router's own SSH
server.

 


   Interesting.  On a D7000[v1] (currently V1.0.1.74_1.0.1), I've never
seen any hints of SSH, only Telnet (if you enable it explicitly):

 

      # netstat -an | grep 22
      #

   "same" as what?  Your LAN?

   Still my suggestion.

   If no one can guess the password, then the threat may be small, even
if a connection can be made from the WAN/Internet side.

 

   If you want to poke around on the thing, then you might be able to
get shell access using Telnet.

 

   Some router model and firmware combinations have a "debug.htm" or
similar page in the management web site which offers an easy way to
enable Telnet access.  With others, a third-party program can send a
special message to the router to do the job.  A Web search for terms
like, say:

 

      netgear  telnet  enable

 

should find one or more such programs.  (I use the program which I
modified: http://antinode.info/nte/ )

Re: d7000v2 I can ssh to my router

I just tried ssh my puplic ip using 4g network it didn't connect
I think I'll try downgrade the router then reset it again to see if this will fix the ssh thing
Thank you for your help
