We've all heard the expression "Give a man a fish and he'll eat for a day, but teach a man to fish and he'll eat for a lifetime."
It seems the internet is full of information, but the actual knowledge behind that information is scarce. And that seems to be the problem here.
Since there are several brands and models of routers out there that use the ATTxxxxxxx format, and they all seem to use their very own special seed to create their pass phrases, cracking ATT routers is a job left only "half" done.
Mrfancypants has given us the information (seeds) we need to build two key-gens, and I'm very thankful for those, but he did not share the methods (knowledge) he used to find those seeds, or to determine their values.
To be more explicit, no matter how carefully I follow the math Mrfancypants has described so well in previous posts, I can't seem to locate or re-create the numbers "465661287.5245797" or "2^32+2" from the information given. It seems they just suddenly appear in text or in code. Is there something I'm just not seeing? Knowing where those numbers came from would be a big step towards finding similar numbers in the other router models.
So, Mrfancypants, if you would kindly share your methods, we could all work together on this project instead of banging our heads against the wall while you do all the hard work.
I'm working on merging all my code to one project, though I'm not experienced enough to do it modularly. Updates are being pushed as we speak. Code still functions the same but I still haven't completed the 599 code. Would like to wait for mrfancypants... and would also like to know where those 'magic' numbers came from.
