Hacking Linksys BEFSR41v3
Posted: 01 May 2006, 09:46
Hi
I've been trying to hack a router: a Linksys BEFSR41v3.
I've tried the default passwords I know of for this router:
user pass
(blank) admin
admin (blank)
admin admin
and it didn't work. The administrator changed the password.
I also tried Brutus but it gives me an error: (Warning: error due to pre-authentication), so I made my own bruteforcer. It works but it will take ages to find the correct combination.
I would like to know if anyone know an exploit/hack valid for this router?
Thanks in advance for any answer (positive or negative).
EDIT:
I forgot to post the routers answer:
