How do I hack into my own router?

[stinkwheel]

Stupid problem, not of my making but I thought I'd have a go at fixing it again. (got fed up last time)

Out of goodwill I am allowing work to use my computer for their internet access on a single PC in the branch surgery downstairs. If I didn't they'd have to put in another phone line which stupid for the 30 minutes a day it is open.

Trouble is, I'm pretty sure they've* firewalled stuff I need using the routers hardware firewall. In particular it regularly makes gmail and photobucket uploads go tits-up (they say they haven't, I don't believe them). I also want to disable their remote access port so they have to ask me nicely if they want to change anything again (and so there isn't a wide open hole in the security).

They cannae get on my computer mind. I have my own firewall and the guy at the consultants place expressed surprise when I sent him an email as I was on the phone. "Is your PC using that connection now?" "Yes, I just emailed you off it." "What the hell are you running, I can't see it?" "Good.".

Now, easy to fix eh? Nope. They've remotely moved the router off 192.168.1.1 and I don't know where it is. They may have passworded it but I can't even find that out (and their passwords are weak, it'll be one of three).

So, any way of finding out my router address so I can access the setup screen? (NOT the WAN address, I want its LAN address).

I could reset it but then I'll lose the settings that let the work computer talk to the other work computers (and I don't know how to put them back).

It's not a huge problem. I have another router setup how I want it, it just means I'm always having to swap plugs round (and sometimes forget to plug the work one back in which causes chaos). Ideally I would use my router and transfer the settings across to allow the work computer to function. My router is better and faster than their one.

Oh, I'm running Ubuntu linux which comes with all manner of network tools such as: ping, traceroute, netstat, portscan, lookup finger and whois. I know what ping does, the others are a bit of a mystery but I'm sure they are useful.

*They = Computer consultants located hundreds of miles away who are never available when you call for support.

Try
Network proprities and then tcp/ip proticol propities, may be listed under default gateway.

type ipconfig /all at the command prompt - the default gateway will be the router's ip address.

to get to the command prompt:
Click Start> Run
type cmd click OK

[EDIT] trying to find a way of hacking the password, will get back to you...

In a unix session, try :-

traceroute www.google.com

You should get the route to Google, your router should be the first hop.

In windows, you'd do it in a command window :-

tracert www.google.com

Hmm. Think I found it. Doesn't connect to anything when I type the address into firefox though.

I think I also found something interesting while I've been messing on. Their router is assigning the DNS address as their own server. My router sets it as the default ISP DNS server. Reckon this could be screwing things up?

Just to confirm. I read this as my router being on 192.168.8.100 and in theory, if I type that into the browser I should either get onto the router setup or be told to piss off and come back when I know the password?

Ok, bazzas comes up with a different one.

[stinkwheel]

The security aspect annoys me as well. With my setup, it is fully stealthed when you do a security scan. With theirs, it has reverse DNS lookup and three open ports. (I've closed them locally on my machine, but still, it's a bit shit).

Your IP: 192.168.8.100

Router IP: 192.168.8.99

You may have to enter a port number at the end of the URL for the web page, something like:

[stinkwheel]

Ahah! remember those open ports I was whinging about?

It was one of them! (they'd changed the port it was working from too)

Now I just need to guess the password.

Cheers

Oi oi stinkwheel.

Matey whats the make and model of the router?

Im a network geek for a living. Ive had loads practice getting into "locked down" routers.

also, look on the back of the router. if it has a tiny reset button hold it down, take the power lead out, 5secs, plug it in still holding the reset button for a further 30secs.

that will make it go back to its default settings. the default user name and password vary from make to make. try these combinations though

un - admin / pw - admin
un - admin / no password

if they dont work let me know the make and ill get the info for ya.

Peace out

Once your logged into the routers admin interface, you may want to update the routers firmware.

Get the firmware from the manufacturers site.
