Does anyone know of a way to brute force or somehow gain the password to the local DHCP server? I want to forward some ports here but I'm stuck at the login prompt.

I'd reset the passwords from the hardware but that'd throw up a red flag and I don't know where the hardware is :\

Thanks for the help

What OS?

Members of the Administrators group usually have full control by default.

If your talking Linux, I will need more detail.

It is Windows XP Professional SP1.

I made myself an account after disabling DeepFreeze and I have admin access now, but not to the DHCP server, and that's what I need access to.

Thanks for el helpo-

you want to use dhcp to forward ports?

i'd put the head scratchy icon in here if they had it

The DHCP server isn't going to be running on WinXP. It will be on a Win2K Server or Windows Server 2003 box. If you have netowrk admin access, check out the permissions on the DHCP server, and add yourself to the appropriate group.

And like was said before, wtf are you trying to do anyway?

it sounds like your trying to gain access to the router???? if so im in the same boat as you at work. i have the routers ipaddress but i cant find the make and model and no way i can reset it manually either. if u find a solution let me know.

Maybe it's just me, but I dont remember nmap being part of XP.....



You'd need either a copy of knoppix, or nmap for windows (insecure.org) In sp2 nmap doesnt work anymore, from what I've heard.

I don't remember the exact name of it, but you can get a cable tester that you plug in to either a cable or a jack, and it'll tell you how long the cable run is (even if it's not plugged in on both ends, it'll estimate from the reflection). You can pretty much narrow it down with that... there's not exactly a lot of places to hide a giant patch panel and eqipment. If your schools got a networking class, the teacher should have one. But if you do have a networking class, just look for the topology.. it should be around somewhere.

try portscanning your router, you never know what you might turn up and they might ahve the router set to have web configuration on a different port.

dhcp stands for dynamic host configuration protocl. it does not set open ports, it assigns you with an ip address.

firewall is what you want to change.

Some H/W firewalls/Routers can be acessed simply by typing the ip in ie. Then, when you get a password prompt, try:

U/N:admin

P/W: Manufacturer? Model? Try the obvious.

even better - GO to the manufacturars website and look for default machine password?
