Firmware is a specific class of computer software that provides the low-level control for a device’s specific hardware, if we get to know firmware of their WIFI model than we can easily change their WIFI name and password using enumeration:-

First we need to download firmware, in this tutorial i am using D-Link firmware which i have already downloaded you can download the same from site:- http://dlink.co.in/firmware/ftp.aspx

For this tutorial i am using AttifyOs which is a pre-loaded operating system, it has all tools which we need in this tutorial, you can download this from site:- https://www.attify.com/attifyos

◙ Open terminal in AttifyOs and type command : “cd /tools/firmadyne/” (Firmadyne is a Linux based system for emulating and analysing firmware. It is used for penetration testing of firmware and can even run exploits. It automatically runs Linux based firmware designed for embedded devices)

◙ Firmware should be in the same folder “firmadyne”.

◙ Now type command “./reset.sh” this will delete all previous database file. */Important:- Before using it again we should reset it otherwise this might not work./*

◙ It will ask for password type :- “firmadyne” .

◙ Now type command “./fat.py” it will ask for the “.bin file” name in my case it’s “Dlink_firmware.bin” and than brand name type the name of firmware brand in my case it’s “D-Link”.

◙ Now it will ask for password 3 times type : “firmadyne” each time.. Caution :- Type carefully small mistake here will make an error and we have to do all things once again.

◙ We now see an ip :- “192.168.0.1” it’s a gate way to the login page of the D-Link.

◙ Open browser and type the ip : — “192.168.0.1”.

◙ It’s default credential is username : — “admin” after typing admin just click on login as it doesn’t have any password.

◙ So finally we have access to the login page of D-link.. here we can change things the way we want and can change password and name of a WIFI if we are connect with it..

Hope you understand all steps: …
