They would still be able to see all your requests, though, and thus know what sites you are using and when. | |

| Apr 16, 2013 at 9:07 | comment | added | Luc | Beyond breaking the connection or setting different DNS servers to be sent in DHCP, what more can an attacker do when he has the router password? Not many consumer routers will prevent ARP cache poisoning and the like, you can already do just about anything without router password. | |
