grs Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 The guys show how to run a man-in-the-middle attack, this involves been on the network in the first place. I'm using a Linksys wireless router which has the standard password protection, is there anyway for someone to get past this password, how would they do it?

Swanny14 Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 Theres ways to get everything, it just depends on which type of security you use. This slows 'em down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaKo Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 Google for "wep cracking" and "wpa cracking". If you have a long gibberish password, your using WPA you will be fine for the most part. After this you can start adding things like radius or a VPN to the mix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grs Posted September 5, 2007 Author Share Posted September 5, 2007 You said the answer your self. From my understanding you have to be in/on the network to use the Man-in-the-middle type attack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparda Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 At least, or have the wireless key if it's wpa protected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natural_orange Posted September 8, 2007 Share Posted September 8, 2007 If someone hack cracked your wep/wpa key then they could sniff network traffic and get your password when you login to your router.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unasoto Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 the linksys is a good enough router for most people. If your using this for home a network and not an enterprise network then I think in the same ep darren talks about how to secure the linksys. Most of it is common sense stuff. you sound like your smart enough to protect yourself. ask yourself this how likely is it that someone is going to pull up outsie your house and leach your bandwith let alone hak into your network and do something? I have the wrt54g ver5 (bummed cant ddwrt or openwrt it) and its just fine for my needs :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomas.p.hicks Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 I have WRT54G router, is there a way to recover the routers password with out resting it and losing the config on it, with a hardwired connection? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What software is it running? You may be able to exploit it in such a way that you gain access to the routers config options and can reset the password, but in all honesty you might find it faster to reset the unit.

digip Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 Easiest thing to do before ever trying any exploit is see if they even changed the password: http://www.phenoelit-us.org/dpl/dpl.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
