Vault 7: Projects

This publication series is about specific projects related to the Vault 7 main publication.

Determine the <Device_LAN_IP_Address>. If the device is running DHCP, the
device LAN IP address is likely the default gateway of your connected client;
otherwise, if the device LAN IP address is not the default LAN IP address listed
above, the device LAN IP address can be retrieved in wireless sniffer capture data
(e.g., kismet).
Log on to the device’s web interface by opening a web browser and pointing it to
http://<Device_LAN_IP_Address>, where “<Device_LAN_IP_Address>” is the
device IP address determined from the previous step (i.e., not the literal string
“<Device_LAN_IP_Address>”). For example, if the <Device_LAN_IP_Address>
is 192.168.1.1, use http://192.168.1.1.
At the login prompt, enter the web interface password and click OK.
Then click the “Administration” link on the upper right tab.
Then click the “Firmware Upgrade” tab.
Click the “Browse…” button and browse to the [wrt320n_X].bin firmware file the
client computer.
Click the “Start to Upgrade” button.
Watch the interface for any additional steps/error messages/information.
NOTE: the upgrade progress bar can seem to “hang” at 98% for many (~90)
seconds. Be patient – eventually the device will report status.

device LAN IP address (referred to below as <Device_LAN_IP_Address>)
device web interface password
Limitations: None
Firmware Filename: [wrt320n_X].bin (where [wrt320n_X] is an optional string)
Instructions:
Connect/associate the wireless (802.11) client computer (with DHCP enabled) to
the device. If wireless encryption (WEP, WPA, or WPA2) is enabled on the
device, enter the key when prompted. If you are not served an IP address by the
