telnetenable

This is a tool for activating the listening mode of the telnet console on some Netgear routers. For more information, please refer to http://wiki.openwrt.org/OpenWrtDocs/Hardware/Netgear/TelnetConsole

Please read the telnetenable.c header for additional information on copyright and licensing terms.

Please note that this tool is currently lacking a socket layer implementation, and is therefore only usable to craft individual magic packets, but not to send them to the router.

To compile, use gcc -o telnetenable telnetenable.c blowfish.c -lcrypto

To run it, pass the same parameters as you would pass to the original tool (telnetEnable.exe by Netgear) upon command line invocation. You can see the usage by simply running ./telnetenable

Please note that this software is completely unsupported.

An updated version providing a network layer implementation may or may not be provided in the future. If you would like to contribute any patches or have crafted modified versions (you are welcome to do so under the terms of the GPL!), we would appreciate a hint.
