Airtel Broadband Hack : Increase Your Internet Speed


Requirements :
1) An Airtel broadband connection.
2) Any Airtel phone number with high broadband speed : Yes, you need a phone number of Airtel with high broadband speed like 256 kbps. Airtel connection is so common that any of your friend or neighbour might be using it. Just ask for their phone number and save it. As an example, I am assuming a number1234567

Step1) Now comes the tricky part : Just call 197 from your Airtel landline phone and ask for the following details of the number 1234567.

>> Name of the owner of this number.
>> Address of the owner of this number.

Step 2) That's it. Now note down the 2 details mentioned above.

Step 3) Now call customer care ( 4444121) from Airtel landline and tell them that I need the Account Number and give them the phone number you have e.x 1234567

He/she will ask you for the account details and tell them exactly what you noted in Step 2.

Note : Airtel by default sets the username as Phone Number and password as Account Number.
Now you have phone number and account number of a person that has a high broadband Airtel connection.

Now I am going to tell you that what to do with the phone number and account number.

Step 4) Open Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox and in the address bar enter the following address and hit enter.

192.168.1.1


When you will press enter a Window will pop up asking for User Name and Password.

Step 5) In the user name and password field enter the details below :

User Name : admin
Password : password


DSL Router will open and we have to make some changes in the Modem settings.

Step 6) In the left sidebar click on WAN and a new page will open and click on EDIT.

Have a look :





Click on Edit and keep on clicking Next until you get this screen :



Now in the PPP Username and PPP Password enter the following :

PPP Username : 01721234567@_dsl@airtelbroadband.in ( Here is 0172 is my State Code and 1234567 is the phone number is assumed but in your case both will be different. )
PPP Password : enter the account number that your noted in Step 2

After entering these keep on clicking Next and at last click on Save and then Save and Reboot.

Now reboot your system and check your Internet speed here.

Congrats now you have high Internet Speed connection.

how-to-hack-into-broadband-adsl-modem-router-and-get-the-broadband-user-id-and-password


First connect to your broadband, and goto http://whatismyip.com to know your public IP Address.


Now you need Port Scanner software, here I used a free one from RadMIN. Open Port Scanner after install and type your IP Range like following figure and set port range from 80 to 81.
Hit Scan button as soon as you finish above steps.
After finish scanning you have to look for the alive IP Addresses those have port 80 opened like following figure.
Here I have found IP Address with port 80 opened. No you have to open that IP Address from internet Explorer like following figure.
If everything went fine, It will ask you for user id and password, and out of 10 ADSL Router, at least 6 having default password, coz no one bother to change that default password L .
So, give it a try with following ID and Pass:
ID : admin / Pass : admin (most common)
ID : admin / Pass : admin123
ID : admin / Pass : admin321
ID : root / Pass : root
ID : root / Pass : admin
ID : admin / Pass : root
ETC…
Wow!! I have got the access… Now I can do whatever I want. But I don't want to do anything:)
You can access any settings on the ADSL Router.
Now you need an Asterisk Key recovery tool to get the broadband user ID and Password:)
Here password recovered successfully in a second. :)
NOW, the question is how you are going to protect your own ADSL Router?
Simple!! You have to check few things, add some extra security to avoid such incident in future.
CHECKLIST!
  • After Installation of your modem, ask the engineer about your modem user id and password.
  • 90% of ADSL Modem using http://192.168.1.1 for their own console, so logon to that console and change your modem console password immediately.
  • If you are using your modem to connect internet for only one system, it's recommended to configure modem as BRIDGE type, coz, here you have to dial from your own desktop, so, it's not required to save your broadband user id and password in your modem.
  • In some router, you can restrict console access, if it is supported by your router, and then enable it for Private Network only.
  • Finally, if you are reading this topic, then after reading, tell your friends about this hole, and secure yourself as well as your friends:)
