I recently bought a router on an auction site. Great price, good customer service. It was an older thing that's not made anymore, built for a specific application, and I thought it'd be easier to just grab a box instead of do emulation via software....
Everything went great --- except they didn't send a username and password, and there doesn't seem to be a "reset defaults" switch on the hardware itself. I can get a telnet login: prompt, but the factory's user/pass combo doesn't work.
I've corresponded with the seller ... they're of little help, and the last exchange made me upset enough that I thought about finding an open router somewhere in the Pacific and writing a mailbomb for it to deliver to them... (which would probably also be a good programming experience :evilgrin: ). But I'd really just like to use the thing, give them good feedback, and live a few weeks longer than I will if I have a fit (and possibly get jailed...)
However, first, does anyone have any idea how I might get into this thing? I'm thinking a few hours of hacking and I could get something together with sockets and /usr/share/dict/words, but I was wondering if anyone had something already available. For example, I thought that "john the ripper" would help me, 'til I installed it and realized you needed to have the pw file for it to work on :rolleyes:.
Yeah, this sounds about as black as could be; but I am simply trying to get into a device that I already own, { albeit you could debate that as I can't log in ... }
I guess you can just tell me to STFW. Probably I deserve that kind of response...OTOH, if I get something hacked together, should I make it available in the best tradition of Børken Sauce?
