Vault 7: Projects

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

For example, if the device LAN IP address is 192.168.1.1, assign yourself an IP
address of 192.168.1.11.
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.
Reboots Automatically After Upgrade: Yes
Approximate Upgrade Time: 180 seconds
