Hello pen testers...

I have been trying to break in an alcatel speedtouch authentication (telnet
and http-basic) using brutus. It reported the default username and pass but
everytime I connect using the credentials given by brutus I get an
incorrect password" message. I have also tried hydra with no hope.



Any ideas as to what may be happening here??

The tools that you are using work on a send, expect. I think with brutus with no modification on the telnet protocol it looks for the string "incorrect" as a primary response to signify a negative login.

What is probably happening is that your app doesn't use that string, and its taking that to mean a positive login - so you are going to have to change parameters in the tool to specify the correct negative login response for the speedtouch.




Thanks...
