| Network (in)Security Interesting hacks and cracks. Info on firewalls, TCP/IP, encryption, networks, and security. The ins and outs of the phone system, caller services, how things work, what's illegal and what's not, cellular phones, beepers, telephony legislation, the PUC, ISDN, taps, who's listening, and switches. Talking about phones, hacking systems, technical advice, and such is completely LEGAL in the United States -- it's covered by the First Amendment. What's illegal is conspiracy to commit a crime. So if you say something like "Meet me at 2am so we can crack a can" or "I changed my cell phone's number myself" you are criminally liable. Stating "You can crack a can by doing thus-and-so" or "If you wanted to change a cell phone's number, you could do it like so" is perfectly OK. Posting passwords, calling card numbers, or credit card numbers is forbidden on this network. Posting such info will get you booted off the net. |

 Passwords from a WRT54G
I was just reading 26o0's neato article on how to make a computer more secure from forensics and espionage by dumping memory and preventing passowrds from being written to the Hard Drive.
I just got a new WRT54GS wireless router and I've read about how it runs Linux. Now I am not very sure at all these are just my thoughts:
Linux probably uses Swap space on the router so maybe a dump of the memory would reveal the password if not its file. If the password then ta dah (highly unlikely) but if contains an encrypted file then the file could be copied and transfered to another router for decryption. Maybe?
