Embodiment 1

[0064] A method for upgrading router firmware provided by an embodiment of the present invention is introduced in detail. The method for upgrading router firmware in the embodiment of the present invention can be implemented when the client is connected to the server, and the client can be connected to a local router.

[0065] refer to figure 1 , shows a flowchart of a method for upgrading router firmware in an embodiment of the present invention.

[0066] Step 100, acquire the media access control address of the local router and the version information of the current firmware.

[0067] In the case of being connected to the local router (wired connection and wireless connection are available), the Medium Access Control (Medium Access Control, MAC) address of the local router and the version information of the current firmware of the local router are obtained.

[0068] Usually, the MAC address can be used as a unique identifier for identifying a router, that is, each router h...

Embodiment 2

[0084] A method for upgrading router firmware provided by an embodiment of the present invention is introduced in detail. The method for upgrading router firmware in the embodiment of the present invention can be implemented when the client is connected to the server. Wherein, the client can be connected to the local router, the server can store the mapping relationship between the MAC address and the router, and the server (cloud) can specifically store the router information of each manufacturer, including the brand, model, MAC address, hardware version number and firmware version information, etc. Each router can have one or more matching firmware, and the version information of each said matching firmware has a corresponding security level. For example, 4 security levels can be set, which are respectively 70 (there is a loophole), 50 (can be upgraded), 10 (latest firmware), 40 (unknown firmware).

[0085] refer to figure 2 , shows a flowchart of a method for upgrading ...

Embodiment 3

[0118] A method for upgrading router firmware provided by an embodiment of the present invention is introduced in detail.

[0119] The method for upgrading router firmware in the embodiment of the present invention can be implemented when the client is connected to the server. Wherein, the client may be connected to a local router, and the client in this embodiment may refer to client software. The server end can store the mapping relationship between MAC addresses and routers, and the server end (cloud) can specifically store router information of various manufacturers, including brand, model, MAC address, hardware version number and firmware version information of the router. Each router can have one or more matching firmware, and the version information of each said matching firmware has a corresponding security level. For example, 4 security levels can be set, which are respectively 70 (there is a loophole), 50 (can be upgraded), 10 (latest firmware), 40 (unknown firmware...

Abstract

The invention provides a router firmware updating method and device. The method includes the steps of obtaining an MAC address of a local router and version information of current firmware; sending the MAC address of the local router and the version information of the current firmware to a server for security detection of the current firmware; receiving a security detection result fed back by the server, wherein the mapping relation of the MAC address and the router is stored in the server, each router has one or more pieces of matched firmware, and version information of each piece of matched firmware has a corresponding security level; updating the current firmware if the security detection result indicates that the security level of the current firmware is dangerous. By means of the method and device, users are helped to find backdoor loopholes existing in the routers, a firmware updating function is provided, and operation is universal, easy and convenient to achieve.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of network technology, in particular to a method and device for upgrading router firmware. Background technique [0002] With the widespread use of routers, router security issues have become increasingly prominent. Most of the security issues are caused by "backdoors" in routers, that is, technical loopholes. A conventional method to solve these problems is to upgrade the firmware version of the router and apply a patch to patch these backdoor vulnerabilities and minimize the threat to users and the network. [0003] Firmware is a program written in a programmable read-only memory, and the popular understanding is "solidified software". Firmware is the program code solidified inside the integrated circuit, which is responsible for controlling and coordinating the functions of the integrated circuit. Firmware is the software that is the most basic and bottom-level work of a system. Firmware upgrade refers to the pro...
