Title: Guifi.net: Security analysis of a heterogeneous community network
Author: Ramos García, Patricia
Tutor: Bassols Alcón, Andreu
Others: Universitat Oberta de Catalunya
Abstract: Guifi.net is a heterogeneous community network that brings Internet to rural areas or vulnerable groups. This opens the door to many advances, but encompasses some risks as well. The aim of this project is to assess the general security of Guifi.net from tests performed on a key network element: the router. In particular, MikroTik and Ubiquiti are the most used makes in Guifi.net and hence, the target of this project. Basic, yet important, security settings are tested. On the plus side, the widespread use of firewalls and good management of default credentials stand out from the results. However, the tests also frequently reveal outdated firmware and insecure services, which are potential security threats.
