So totse.
I've stumbled across a rather important router in my small city town. But try as I might, I can't get into it. Does anyone know of a decent brute force password cracker? If so, can you provide a link please.

aircrack-ng but your gonna have a helluva fun time learning how to crack wpa and your gonna nut yourself learning how to use linux.

No sure I would agree with that. I'm no GNU/Linux expert, but it was painlessly easy to learn to crack WEP/WPA.

There are dozens of tutorials out there, all you have to do is read each step carefully, and try to understand exactly what it does, as opposed to just parroting them.

As far as getting Backtrack running, it's a simple burn process... Although it has recently come to my attention that you might want to burn it at a slower speed than normal.

When I first started doing it I had an incredibly hard time getting it to support my wireless card, especially backtrack. That was a good long time ago, maybe better driver support or maybe he will get lucky and have an atheros in his thing.

hehehe GNU/Linux

..I'm not actually cracking WEP, I'm trying to get into the router. I've tried the all the default passwords, but none of them work.

Hydra is a good brute forcer, But I don't know if it will work on a router login page

Ah, my mistake. Hydra, as warweed suggested is an option to you.

Are you in the same building as the router? You could just hit the reset button during a period of low traffic. Log in, then change the WEP back to what it was. In some cases, the default password is written on the bottom of the router.

access diver

you have to get proxies, dictionaries for user and passwords.

For webform login wwwhack. Used to hack porn sites. The security went up. I recommend backdoors using spoofs.

Well, the most common router is the Linksys WRT54G. A few months back, meathive managed to find a flaw in their login system which is extremely easy to exploit. This works wonders while wardriving. I've written a couple scripts to check it against 192.168.1.1 as we connect to a network with the default name 'linksys'. With any luck, this is the router.

If not, accessdiver and hydra are your best options.

I'll try Hydra. And no, I'm not in the same building. Well, I can be, but the router is in a secure area, which I have no chance of getting into.


Thanks to everyone for the advice. I'll let you know if/when I get into the router.

EDIT: Could someone post a link for Hydra or Accessdiver?

Thanks.

Not a problem. It's been a while since I've used either, but I was at one time fairly familiar with the two. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me.
