Re: Westell wirespeed modem

[Erin Carroll <amoeba () amoebazone com>]

I believe the Westell Wirespeed is a Globespan chipset based device. The default username/password for the Westell 
Wirespeed is username: admin password: password but this is a common combo for default settings on various wireless 
devices. Hopefully the default password was changed :)

Though a quick google search didn't find any obvious exploits bear in mind that the Westell uses PPPoE for admin 
connections by default (this can be changed). Though I was unable to pick up any specific information on what PPPoE 
code is incorporated into the Westell firmware there are exploits possible in certain PPPoE packages that the device 
may be vulnerable to. Your best bet aside from the usual misconfiguration/open port testing might be to test against 
the PPPoE stack with Metasploit or similar tools.

HTH,
