UPDATE – Netgear default WPA password..and others

Posted date:


So, I did my work on building those netgear wordlists and cracking rules…and then I fine tuned my google-fu and found “another way” actually a better way really….. Here are a few good links but the essence is that all these wifi router people have specific process to generate default WPA passwords for their devices, and some smart people have figured them out. Netgear seems to follow a process, if your default SSID is NETGEARXX where XX is a number then the common password layout is adjective + noun + 1 to 3 digit number….Here are the links to check out:
