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
