Im sure a lot of wana be hackers have been wondering how to get
access to routers. Per my research, you actually dont need any software
to do that except in special cases.
Tools needed:
1. A web browser
2. CMD aka command line
3. THC Hydra bruteforce tool
Process
In order to hack a router to gain control over it you need to get access to the network either by connecting with cable or hacking the wifi access point to gain access.
Once you have access
1. Using the web browser
Open any web browser of your choice and type 192.168.1.1 in the browser. You will be presented with a login panel. Most sys admins dont change the username and password
Default 1:
Username: admin Password: admin or Username: admin Password: password
You are in!!
2. Using CMD aka command line if the default ip i.e. 192.168.1.1
didnt work for you open a CMD or command line on your computer and type
in ipconfig for windows or ifconfig for linux and hit enter.
The default gateway is suppose to be the ip of the router you are
sitting on. Open up a browser, type in the default gateway ip, when
presented with login panel, use the same default in 1 above.
3. Using THC Hydra bruteforce tool if default username and password dosent work for
you. Put in the ip of the router i.e 192.168.1.1 or default gateway ip, select user
list and password list and bruteforce.
