Hidden passwords being /really/ hidden

[Visitor Q]

Righto, I'll keep this brief.

My dad is struggling to get hold of the WEP passphrase for the wifi, but it is working fine on my mums laptop.

In her computer (network settings -> wifi(properties) -> wireless networks tab -> wifi(properties)) it shows the password.

Annoyingly though, it's not asterisked like normal. They're dots. Which seems to defeat freeware asterisk revealer programs.

Has anyone either got a better revealer, or a way to turn off the extra security?

Thanks

Erm just fiddle with the router settings? ,

and thus change the WEP key to something you will recall?

You should be able to access the router from your Mums laptop. Find out what make it is and open up internet explorer. My router address is 192.168.0.1 and the username was Admin + Password was password

Just find out the make and you'll find the default settings.

[nick606]

isnt it on the bottem of your router ? on a sticker might come under security code ?

[MaybeGuy]

copy it to word?

Set up belongs to dads company. He has admin rights and is freaked out by me showing him how to copy and paste things, let alone willing to let me 'loose' with his admin rights.

So basically, I can't fuck about with much.

It does have a 'default acess' sticker;
ip address=, user=admin, pass=password

(a=letter, x=number)

FCC ID - aaxxxxxxxxx
IC ID - xxxxa-xxxxxxxx
Mac (Lan) - xxxzxzzzxxxz
Mac (wlan) - xxxaxaaaxxxa
Serial - xaaxxaaaxxxxx

Make is netgear.

Like I say, don't want to kill it. Dad is FD for a company circling the drain, if the internet dies he will actually evict me.

By logging in as long as you don't change any settings you will be fine, all you're doing is looking through them.

[Visitor Q]

I've tried to log on via IP.

Coming up with 'Protected Object - The object on the Rompage server is protected'

Right

How easy is it to sort out the router if I reset it? I'm guessing not very. Oh well, we'll see if the IT guy comes up trumps tomoro with a password.



^Me holding my breath

[CaNsA]

Get this

https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/wirelesskeyview.zip

If its been stored in windows then this will retrieve it from one of your other computers

[Visitor Q]

Hmmm. Small problem. I got this off of it;

==================================================
Network Name (SSID): River-Wireless
Key Type : WEP
Key (Hex) : 33b774d86c926df667966433a0
Key (Ascii) : 3·tØl’mög–d3 
Adapter Name : Atheros Wireless Network Adapter
Adapter Guid : {2BF4C922-3244-47C4-828E-289DA79FC97A}
==================================================

When I went to copy and paste the Key (Hex) field into the Hex Key edit bar, it cut it off at 10 characters.

Ok, just tried it to be sure.
Ascii is 12 characters long, 64bit wants 10, 128 wants 28.
Tried putting that WEP key into the 128, then even rewrote it with capital letters (just in case).

Bum.

Using the Netgear program that came with the drivers. It correctly found the network (and others), so I trusted it not to be shit.

Now you mention it, it might be worth doing it that way.

As for where I got the WEP key, twas off my mum's laptop which has been set up for the wifi by the company IT guy (who has promptly forgotten the passphrase ).

He was remote accessing the ipconfig through DOS (of the wired in comp), which might have given him a result.

As for adding :, I don't think that will work in the netgear set up as it limits the characters you can put in. Will try a windows wizard.

Tis on XP pro by the way.

The xp wifi wiz should auto detect what type of encryption you have.

Good luck,

If ur a bit handy using a live cd, then backtrack has a wep cracker (i aint paid for inet in 2years)

watch this video, its really is that easy

[Visitor Q]

Hmm, IT guy at work reckons he found the details on his office wall

However, the password doesn't work. Its only 12 characters long (Riverpub1994) so I can't enter the fucker in the windows WEP phase bit.
And it doesn't do anything through the netgear one.

Made even worse by the netgear software refusing to tell you if it hasn't worked. It just doesn't change.

Arse.

So, any more clever plans?
