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 wrt300n[X].bin firmware file on the client
computer.
Click the “Start to Upgrade” button. If you get the error message “There is no new version of
firmware to upgrade” you will need to power-cycle the device and then reference the CB
User’s Manual section 12.7 “Firmware Upgrade Will …” to further continue the upgrade
process.
Watch the interface for any additional steps/error messages/information.
