Last week I’ve read small news on c’t magazine saying that the default password of EasyBox router used for Vodafone, Telecom, Arcor in Germany was hacked by Sebastian Petters. That means if someone is using default settings of EasyBox, you can get his WLAN password easily and then access his network. This default password was generated by a algorithm and this algorithm was patented.

Autopano Video Pro 2 Serial Number. What Is The Difference Between Hardware And Software Pdf. Therefore like other patents, the complete description of algorithm was simply exposed on internet (if you can read German). As you can see the algorithm is pretty simple, it just takes the MAC address of router, makes some computations with base changing, xor,plus Therefore all we have to do is get the MAC address of victim, make a copy of the algorithm ourselves and then generate the default WLAN password. Let’s make an example. Almost of my neighbors are simple persons, they order DSL lines, install the hardwares and let all settings like they were from factory. So here is a snapshot of all available wireless networks around me.

Kilauea; Mount Etna; Mount Yasur; Mount Nyiragongo and Nyamuragira; Piton de la Fournaise; Erta Ale. Jan 28, 2016. Scan for WiFi networks around you and check your Arcadyan WiFi router ( e.g. Vodafone EasyBox ) for vulnerabilities regarding the factory preset WPA2 passphrase. If vulnerability is present, your device will be automatically connected to the selected Network. Please use on your personal equipment only.

Some of SSID names were changed but some of them are default and I can easily recognize which one is an EasyBox router. I just choose one of them, for example the “EasyBox-F1xxxx” giving me a good signal. Open a Terminal (Ctr-Alt-T in Ubuntu) and execute this command servuskevin@pegasus:~$ sudo iwlist wlan0 scanning This command prints out a long list of all networks with their detailed information. Let’s scroll down till our victim “EasyBox-F1xxxx”, ok it’s MAC address is 88:25:2C:xx:xx:xx. So we have what we need. Visual Basic 2008 Express Edition Registration Key Generator. Now let’s implement the algorithm and calculate the default password.
