Hacking Cradle Point Routers

Hacking Cradle Point Routers

This post not related with Video  Surveillance security. Please do not do hack any routers. One of my Long distance friend ask me about the same, so i will put it on my blog.


Cradle-point wireless routers are used heavily for setting small networks. However, Cradle-point uses interesting MAC specific authentication credentials which are unique for every router because of the MAC address uniqueness. In general, Cradle-point opts this behavior in order to provide more entropy in the authentication scheme rather depending on default password mechanism, which most of the LAN/WLAN router uses.

Cradle-point uses last six characters of MAC address for authentication by default. Well, in general it seems interesting because it looks like things are more secure. However, this is not appropriate from security point of view. For administrative logins and user authentication for the first time, a login page is displayed that looks for internet access password. 

The question is; How to get the password for unmanaged routers? Well, it is in MAC address. However, the obscure part is, once you are inside a WLAN , you are already having an IP address. It means Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) is the key that maps the network layer address (IP) to the link layer(Ethernet/MAC). The login page looks like as follows.

The designers made a mistake in setting this type of layout because in order to get the administrative webpage, the client has to connect to the network if it is active. Right!. Yes it is. Once a user activates the wireless connection it gets connected to the same WLAN which has a gateway address of 192.168.0.1 (default for Cradle-point routers). It is hilarious but it is trivial to subvert the stuff to get the password. Now, the hacker is in the network, so we can get possible ARP entry which resolute the IP address to the MAC address (simply ping the gateway) for the router.
As per the documentation, the password has to be 071640. Let’s try
So
Configure your devices in a secure manner.

4320p, 2160p, 1080p & 1080i, 720p & 720i, 576p & 576i, 480p & 480i, 360p, 240p

4320p:

4320p is an alternative name for 8K UHD, a resolution planned to appear in future UHDTV products. The number 4320 stands for 4,320 lines of vertical display resolution, while the letter p stands for progressive scan or non-interlaced. In a progressive image, the lines of resolution of the image go from the top of the screen to the bottom.
It is 7680 × 4320 (33.1 megapixels in the 16:9 aspect ratio).

2160p:

2160p is an alternative name for 4K UHD, a resolution supported by UHDTV products and which offers four times the definition of 1080p. The number 2160 stands for a display resolution which has 2160 pixels along the shortest side, while the letter p stands for progressive scan or non-interlaced. In a progressive image, the lines of resolution of the image go from the top of the screen to the bottom.
2160p or 4K UHD is 3840×2160 (8.3 megapixels in the 16:9 aspect ratio) 

1080p & 1080i :-

1080p (also known as Full HD or FHD and BT.709) is a set of HDTV high-definition video modes characterized by 1080 horizontal lines of vertical resolution and progressive scan, as opposed to interlaced, as is the case with the 1080i display standard. The term usually assumes a widescreen aspect ratio of 16:9,
1080p & 1080i is 1920x1080.

720p & 720i

The number 720 stands for the 720 horizontal scan lines of image display resolution (also known as 720 pixels of vertical resolution), while the letter p stands for progressive scan (i.e. non-interlaced) & i is interlaced, as is the case with the 720i display standard.
720p & 720i is 1280x720

576p & 576i

576p is the shorthand name for a video display resolution. The p stands for progressive scan, i.e. non-interlaced, the 576 for a vertical resolution of 576 lines, usually with a horizontal resolution of 720 or 704 pixels. i stands for interlaced.

480p480i

480p is the shorthand name for a family of video display resolutions. The p stands for progressive scan, i.e. non-interlaced. The 480 denotes a vertical resolution of 480 pixel high vertically scanning lines, usually with a horizontal resolution of 640 pixels and 4:3 aspect ratio. i stands for interlaced.

360p

This is an Animoto video’s default resolution. The majority of YouTube and Hulu videos are displayed in 360p, so that’s about the video quality that 360 lines of resolution provides. This (as well as the 480p) is a great resolution for mobile devices since the mobile screen rarely has enough pixels or enough memory to support HD videos.

240p


Low-definition analog TV systems. Mobile DTV systems. small screens (320 × 240 and 480 × 272 pixels respectively).

Resolution of Network Camera

Resolution of Network Camera
This time I will try to discuss the resolution of the image of the network camera. Resolution which is the number of pixels (pixel) different in each dimension that can be displayed. The greater the resolution of an image, the more have the number of dots and more detailed image will be displayed.
If you want to buy a camera network device that can display video images are detailed and clear, then you should choose a network camera that has high resolution. Currently network video camera technology has a lot to offer features Full HD resolution (1080p).But perhaps for the people of Indonesia arguably the price is still relatively expensive, because there are around 4 million more.
