#50197 — crack a router passcode

I need to crack my router passcode to see what firmware it's running. There's
a passcode set but I don't remember it and it's not written down anywhere.

No you don't. If it's your router and you forgot the password
just reset it to factory defaults and reconfigure.

Of course he can do what as you have said, but lets assume it was he 
router and had no reset button.

Could python somehow brute force http://192.168.1.1/login.php giving 
user and pass trying to guess the password?

Could it be able to pass values to the input boxes of router's web login 
interface?

It certainly could. It's just simple HTTP requests, which Python
handles admirably. But this request was sent by a spambot and doesn't
need a response.

Seems a real person that responds back, why do you say its a spambot?
How is is able to reply if it it one?

Certainly spambots can reply to messages, and some even seem fairly 
credible while spouting nonsense.

But this OP is nothing of the sort.  Two aliases recently,

saishreemathi
saadharana

neither of which has done ANY replies that I can see on comp.lang.python

What is the reason of a spambot? Spam a usenet forum to gain what?

Spam is unsolicited advertising.  A bot is a robot, or other automated 
device.  So Spambots on a usenet newsgroup send apparently innocent 
questions that also contain links to their websites, or the trash 
they're pushing.  Somebody here claimed that the trash got stripped from 
the message before it went out to us.

All I know is it was obvious that there were about 8 spam messages, and 
so I ignored them.  They were from one email address (then two), and in 
rapid succession, and none of them asked anything relevant to this 
newsgroup.  To others it wasn't so obvious, and numerous people have 
wasted time responding to them.

Oh, the irony.

Yeah. The bottom of the original message had these words: "used
computers in chennai". The most likely reason for that is that there
was an <a href> around that, which got stripped at some point (maybe
the post got converted from HTML to plain text somewhere). So these
postings are being approximately useless, and will hopefully
eventually stop.
