Hello all,
I've only just recently started poking around with OpenWrt and am trying to get it up and running on a D-Link DIR-1260 and am hitting a bit of a wall in getting information off of the router and I was hoping some around here might have some suggestions on coming to next steps.
So far I found a version of the device on DeviWiki:
I have been able to crack it open and wire a Raspbery Pi to the serial interface and can get a console.
The console presents me with a login screen for the device and it does not use an empty or generic password for the root user.
I went and grabbed the source for the DIR-1260 from https://tsd.dlink.com.tw/gpl and have been digging through it and found what is most likely the hash value for the default root user and am running that through hashcat now to see if it can be cracked but if it is longer than 15 characters that won't do the trick.
The firmware that D-Link uses for this device is OpenWrt itself (with its own stripped down web interface that doesn't permit me to do the really useful stuff) and most of the pieces are in the tarball... except they appear to have removed the .dts files from the released source.
Also, they have disabled failsafe so I couldn't bypass that login yet.
Currently I'm working the angles of: possibly cracking the password in a few days if I'm lucky or, possibly finding a way to modify the system from the U-Boot to force my way in.
Since it runs OpenWrt out of the factory, I'm fairly confident this shouldn't be terribly difficult to get working so long as I can get the right information so I'm mainly interested if anyone has overcome these hurdles in the past and how they did it, or any recommendations on how to crack this nut open.
Or if anyone knows the default password for D-Link devices like this - I couldn't google my way to an answer over the past two days.
Also, should we get in and get what information we need of the system I may need to beg some assistance with getting all the right files in order and set up since this is my first build but I'll cross that bridge when we get there.
Thank you for any assistance!
