Cracking Router Password

Can someone please give me some tips on breaking a router password, if I already know the username? My idea is something brute-force related, but anything works. If anyone can help in any way, then please do.

By the way, this isn't like another thread which is somewhat the same. I actually need to access some of the core router functions, for remote access and IP bypass.

Thanks

check online for the default pass.

I don't have physical access to the router, so I don't know what type it is.

When you try to access it, the pass and username prompt…does that give anything away? Even the brand? Most brands use the same default pass for all (or most) of their routers.

Not sure… next time I get access is tomorrow at about 9:00-4:00, I'll email myself about it then try to post on this thread.

Use a Bruter forcer, with Passlists..take a Screenshot of the Login and post it here when you get one :whoa:

Download Hydra and a decent wordlist and attack the login with that.

Use Firefox with either the WebDeveloper's addon or the Live HTTP Headers addon, and connect to the main page of the router. Usually, a router will give you some sort of clue as to what brand it is through the headers. If you don't feel like downloading any addons, you can just use nc to connect to the router, and feed in the request yourself.

with nc just send : GET / HTTP/1.0

If its a dell router, theres a pretty advanced hack you can do, which allows you to possibly get root on the router's OS!
