Accesspoints Disclose WEP Keys, Password and MAC Filters
6 Nov. 2002
Summary
GlobalSunTech develops Wireless Access Points for OEM customers like Linksys, D-Link and others. Capturing the traffic of a WISECOM GL2422AP-0T during the setup phase showed a security problem.
Sending a broadcast packet to UDP port 27155 containing the string "gstsearch" causes the accesspoint to return WEP keys, mac filter and admin password. This happens on the WLAN Side and on the LAN Side.
