Yep, that's me on the TBB forum
I guessed it had to be.
There was far too much of a similarity to be just a coincidence . . .
Thank you for making those images available. I now know the the specification of the EZ Bend cable and can look up the ITC-T Recommendations for all the details (
G.657), minimum bend radius, etc.

I haven't tried any of the above...TBH the unit looks rather intimidating I'm worried that if I press the reset button (if it works that is!) it might reset/wipe everything and leave me without web access and the only way might be to send the unit back to Fluidone to re-configure...which I imagine they won't be too happy with. I think its totally locked down, even pressing the on/off switch does nothing, switching it on at the mains is the only way to power it up.
Acknowledged and understood.
So we need to consider a means to tap the Ethernet link. The simplest method would be to insert a computer with two Gigabit NICs into the Ethernet link.
Huawei HG8240 <-------> Computer <-------> Juniper SRX300 <-------> Netgear R9000Where the computer runs a Linux kernel based OS and has two Gbit NICs, Eth0 and Eth1. Software-wise (iptables) Eth0 just passes data to/from Eth1 and vice-versa. A logical bond is created from those two physical interfaces and it is the logical bond that is sniffed with Wireshark.
- The HG8240 is in a powered up state.
- The computer (the "man-in-the-middle") is booted up and Wireshark is started with the bond as the target.
- The SRX300 is powered on and allowed to "do its thing".
From the Wireshark capture I would expect you to see three lines of interest --
- A CHAP Challenge from Fluidone's server.
- A CHAP Response from the SRX300.
- A CHAP Success message from Fluidone's server.
In the SRX300's response, I would expect you to see the "login" part of the credentials in plain text. The "password" part of the credentials should discovered by submitting the relevant portions of the challenge and response to Hashcat.
Hmm . . .
