Hacking Linksys BEFSR41v3

Post by H4evr »

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:

HTTP/1.1 401 Authorization Required
WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="Linksys BEFSR41v3"
Content-type: text/html

The above link is a visit to the linksys tech pages. Admin is the default password lol. RTFM.

Let us know how it goes.

Orite. Passwords are case sensitive, so 'admin' and 'Admin' are completely different. I'd suggest trying 'Admin,' as suggested before by DNR.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ It works on my machine...

Thanks for the tip. Tried it already.
That's exactly my situation. I'm in a local lan where the remote administrator feature is supposed to be turned off. But they changed the password.

Note: Still working on the bruteforce attack.
