Vault 7: Projects

This publication series is about specific projects related to the Vault 7 main publication.
disable it:
- Log on to the web page (as in step 1).
- On the left menu, click the Wireless -> "Security" link.
- Set the "Security Mode" combo box to "Disabled".
- Click the "Apply Changes" button.
3. Verify that you have internet connectivity.
4. Disconnect the laptop's LAN cable.
5. Next move on to the "OPERATIONAL PROCEDURES" section. When finished with
"OPERATIONAL PROCEDURES", return to step 6 in this section.
6. Login to CherryWeb (see CB User's Manual; requires a person logged into
a G terminal) and verify the device has beaconed. It should beacon at the
MM_INITIAL_BEACON_PERIOD_SEC parameter specified in
<HOME>/<PACKAGE>/flytrap.config.TEST_XXX_PACKAGE, plus 10 to 20
seconds for device boot/init time (depending on device configuration) -- i.e.,
if MM_INITIAL_BEACON_PERIOD_SEC has been specified as 60, then the device
should beacon after 70 - 80 seconds from the reboot event.
7. Firmware now supports erasure of persistent data IF you upgrade from one
CB firmware to a different CB firmware. Note that if
a device has CB firmware 'A' on it, and you upgrade it again to CB firmware
'A', then the persistent data is NOT erased. Also, if a device has CB firmware
'A' on it, then you upgrade to the vendor's original firmware, and then
upgrade again to CB firmware 'A', the persistent data is NOT erased. If a
device has CB firmware 'A' on it, and you upgrade to CB firmware 'B', the
persistent data will be erased. If you then upgrade to CB firmware 'A', the
persistent data will be erased again.
Note that if a firmware is running dumbbelld, you can always erase persistent
data by doing the following:
- open a cygwin command prompt
- cd to <HOME>/TEST_XXX_PACKAGE/wireless_client_files/dumbbellc
- execute "./dumbbellc <WIRELESS_ROUTER_IP_ADDRESS> "killall mm"
- execute "./dumbbellc <WIRELESS_ROUTER_IP_ADDRESS> "mm -x"
OPERATIONAL PROCEDURES:
The operator must be extremely familiar with the following procedure. Ideally,
the operator will have practiced many times on a test device.
0. It is assumed that the operator has installed the <PACKAGE> of interest
from the REAL cdrom as in "SETUP" step 4.
1. Wirelessly connect the laptop to the Belkin F5D8231-4 v4 with firmware
4.00.16. You will need to know the SSID and any WEP/WPA keys.
2. Open a browser (IE) to the Belkin's webpage:
http://<WIRELESS_ROUTER_IP_ADDRESS>
(default <WIRELESS_ROUTER_IP_ADDRESS> is 192.168.2.1, default password
is empty).
3. In the left menu bar, click the "Save/Backup Settings" link.
4. Click the "Save" button, and save the file to the directory:
<HOME>/<PACKAGE>/wireless_client_files/
Use the default belkin_ewc.cfg filename.
5. Open a cygwin command prompt, cd to
