Hacker's ramblings

Mr. Ronkainen at http://blog.asiantuntijakaveri.fi/ has done some really good research on Huawei B593 web interface. He discovered that the ping-command in diagnostics runs any command you'd like to. Really! Any command.

I being a lazy person didn't want to use cURL to do all the hacking, that's way too much work for me. So, I did a quick hack for a Perl-script to do the same thing. Get my script from http://opensource.hqcodeshop.com/Huawei%20B593/exploit/B593cmd.pl

To use my script, you'll need 3 parameters

1. The host name or IP-address of your router, typically it is 192.168.1.1
2. The admin password, typically it is admin
3. The command to run. Anything you want. 

Example command B593cmd.pl 192.168.1.1 admin "iptables -nL INPUT" will yield:

Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination        
DROP       all  --  0.0.0.0/0            0.0.0.0/0           state INVALID
ACCEPT     all  --  0.0.0.0/0            0.0.0.0/0           state RELATED,ESTABLISHED
INPUT_DOSFLT  all  --  0.0.0.0/0            0.0.0.0/0          
INPUT_SERVICE_ACL  all  --  0.0.0.0/0            0.0.0.0/0          
INPUT_URLFLT  all  --  0.0.0.0/0            0.0.0.0/0          
INPUT_SERVICE  all  --  0.0.0.0/0            0.0.0.0/0          
INPUT_FIREWALL  all  --  0.0.0.0/0            0.0.0.0/0     

In my box the SSHd does not work. No matter what I do, it fails to open a prompt. I'll continue investigating the thing to see if it yields with a bigger hammer or something.

Happy hacking!
