Hi Everyone,

It looks like your right about trying to brute force the dsl password. I managed to write a small script to generate 600 combinations. Testing the 620 combinations took 5 minutes and 20 seconds.

I found out that the Puerto Rico telecom company is using passwords of the following form: 30aLPOjbhy

Unfortunatly, I don't know if the positions are always the same. (i.e. the digits are always there and the upper/lowercase also.) I will probably need to find a super-password for a Zyxel Prestige 600.

So this is now, just a learning hack. The following code works for a small subset. But I can't think of how to reset the initial values and retry all the additional combinations. Any tips? 

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
#my @genString = ('0', '1', '2', '3', '4', '5', '6', '7', '8', '9');
my @genString = ('a', 'a', 'a', 'a', 'a', 'a', 'a', 'a', 'a', 'a');
my @chars = ("a".."z", "A".."Z", "0".."9");
my $cnt=0;

for(my $i; $i <= $#genString; $i++) {
  foreach my $newChar (@chars) {       
      $genString[$i] = $newChar;     
      print "", @genString, "\n";       
#      print "$cnt\t\t", @genString, "\n";       
      $cnt++;                             
     }                                    
 }
