What information can be obtained thru a router?

I'm trying to answer a question about only having access to a router, what information about the systems can be obtained. Can you help?What information can be obtained thru a router?My neighbor left his wireless router open. I could send documents to be printed to his HP inkjet (and did, telling him to lock it down). I saw his computer name and port forwarding rules and the names of installed programs. The man used his real name on the computer and since it was wireless, I used Zabasearch to find his address and phone number. He lived three blocks away.



Use encryption, people. It's free.
