Unless it is an intentional attack for personal reasons the chances are that you are not worth a hackers time because you will yield little reward. Last time I checked 100,000 people live in Lincoln. Statistically what are the chances that somebody is going to come and sit outside my house for 3 hours and try and crack my password for my Asus router? Even if they managed it they wouldn't get anything of value so it just isn't worth their time. There are bigger fish to fry!

BTW for those interested nothing like this will ever be integrated into Backtrack. (Shhh General).
