    Question about Router Identifying

    I am wondering on techniques to indentify certain routers?

    This is just something I'm doing at my school, and I am wanting to identify the type of router they are using and what version of software they are running.

    There is usually a version command you can use when your logged onto a router. With Cisco Routers, you can type the command:

    sh version

    Sometimes you can determine the type of router from the login prompt, but I am unaware of any ways to determine what type/vesion of router it is without actually logging on to it.

    if u do find out it is a Cisco router i found a fine little article in 2600 that will allow you to overflow the router then have full configuration access which im guessing is what u want. if you would like more details just send me an AO msg and id be more than happy to give u a full description
    If you can cheat and get away with it you deserve to win

    Some ciscos had a port that you could send crafted packets to to determine which version it was. This was strictly considered to be a bug (and easter egg for cisco's own people or software?)

    Try a telnet fingerprinter (which will identify a particular brand perhaps?)

    Alternatively have a look at SNMP. If it's enabled read-only for community "public", you might be able to read the IOS version regardless of who the manufacturer is.

    u should use SNMP manage your router.

    fingerprinter is only identify OS.

    but SNMP is not security,it is use plaintext .

    at a large network is offen use.
