Sky Router SR101 & SR102 Username & Password Extract

[@bjblackmore]

You sir, are a god send! I was told by Sky when I signed up that I could use my own router, after waiting 10 days for the the DSL line to synced. After 10 days I tried my Draytek Vigor2710, only to be told using my own router wasn't supported! B*stards! Using this little Wireshark method has allowed me to get the username & password, and connect perfectly with my Draytek! Thank you so much!

[@markonline2]

Hi. Many thanks. Just ran this now, and discovered my user name and password. 3rd party router, sprang to life first time. Many thanks once again, very useful video - this really works.

[@emmafeatherstone9911]

Just done this on a brand new SR101 - so still works (details not being encrypted or otherwise hidden/disguised). Only comment that I would make is ignore (or at least it didn't work for me) the in-video suggestion of assigning a static IP to the PC side network card, just leave it in DHCP mode. I'm using Win7 64-bit, used the top/highest port on the router, made sure nothing else was connected/connecting either directly or wirelessly, and rather than unplug/re-plug, did a 15 second reset and found it straight away (after several previous methods/failed attempts). Thanks to KiltedJock for the original guide.

[@slipperyflyer]

Many thanks for this. Your instructions were spot on. I had a minor problem migrating from O2 to SKY as I had forgotten that O2 use an unusual VPI/VCI and Mux combination but once I changed this from O2's LLC/0/101 to Sky's more standard VC/0/38 it all worked a treat.

[@naah]

I know this video has been up forever, but I've just managed to get the user and pass using a mac as well, thanks to you :) Thank you!

[@jayc2469]

Fabulous! Followed your demonstration (with help from *pause* !) and cracked it first time, so I'm now cooking on gas and about to use _any_ router my heart desires, on my SBB ISP. Cheers fella! (Googled forum explanations that overcomplicated the method, but your vid made it crystal clear!)

[@KiltedJock1]

happy to help mate :D

[@moominboy25118668]

Decent video though a wee bit convoluted. No need to be wired to the router via any port, never mind being static. The router kicks out a full DHCP broadcast to LAN/WAN connections so a wifi adapter picks it up fine. And a quick udp.port == 67|| udp.port == 68 or bootp.option.type == 53 works as a decent filter. :)

[@Ebiin]

You've just saved me from such a headache. Thank you so much man!

[@patmustard361]

I owe you a huge thank you. I am not very good with technology at the best of times, but I followed exactly what you did and said and it was easy with good direction. And an even bigger thank you, because now I get to laugh back at my brother who said I had bought all the wrong equipment, and oh how he laughed. hahahahahaha awesome, thank you.

[@KiltedJock1]

glad I could help

[@KiltedJock1]

"Paul P 1 week ago its does work ,but the first thing you have to turn of all antivirus protection, ie avg etc like i said people all leave out the most important things . have fun" Paul, Firstly, thanks for your comments as always its great to get comments and get people discussing it. however you are wrong my KZbin friend i had mine running (Nod32) whilst running wireshark. you must have been doing something slightly different, but im glad i helped you out in the end, its a shame people with no knowledge of what they are doing criticize those that help them.

[@peteh4220]

Worked for me too! Thanks for narrating it, much easier to follow than someone typing in notepad with rubbish music playing... Pete

[@KiltedJock1]

no problem Pete glad I could help..

[@digitalizations]

this also works on sr102 (direct connected to the phone socket) too even without reboot!!! thank you :-)

[@KiltedJock1]

digitalizations yes it does.....i didnt get around to doing a guide for that one, at the time the sr101 was the only unit available. :D

[@panda756]

2 years later this video is still helpful as Sky hub is still shite!

[@xinrogo]

Frigging brilliant mate, thank you so much... UDP filter didn't work for me, it possibly because of Mac OSx ... but managed to filter out the DHCP by sorting by protocols and find the DHCP entries. and found my hard coded stupid adsl sky password. How idiotic is that they don't allow you to change your router.. the router they give is just utter crap.

[@pddymcd]

xinrogo what did you type in? I can't find any DHCP entires at all

[@groy62]

Thanks for the clear instructions on your video. Unfortunately i now have the details i need but don't know how to input them to my Netgear DGN200 (alternative router to replace S*Y's old Netgear DG834GT). Any suggestions?

[@KiltedJock1]

I'm not at home at the moment to check as I'm working in a data Center at the moment. I'm sure it's PPPoA but I can't be sure, it's a vigor I use with no issues Dave

[@mjh17474]

Cheers buddy, worked first attempt.

[@KiltedJock1]

i've done it about a dozen times for people, and it sounds like it will work for you the"/" is the separator between you username and password, the first half is username and the second half is the password

[@danfalconer5705]

Great vid dude worked first time like a charm! Cheers

[@KiltedJock1]

Dan Falconer your welcome mate :D

[@MrKuGaa]

KiltedJock1 Cheers for the vid, do I still need to use the sky router along with the modem and have my new router work off the sky one or I can connect the new (flashed) router straight to the modem and insert the username and password?

[@mikeypr12]

Can I do this over WiFi or do I need to connect to modem Via Ethernet? Just about to sign up to Sky and want to be ready to go. Thank you

[@yashkummar]

Thank you for the insight. Like Bernard Abbot, Like Bernard Abbot, I have also moved from o2 to sky. I am now waiting for my draytek then configure. I understand that cisco 877 may not work with sky.

[@UmmarFarooqMahroof]

No, I think your referring to the "pipe", which is after the @skydsl. I mean "forward slash (/)". For example it appears like this : dmd/lb+g7sJaRoC That's the string of letters after the "|=#"

[@Masterslifter]

Hi, I've followed this guide, however, when I filter the packets using udp.port == 68, I can see no references to DHCP. Any tips please?

[@Rhianmelita5]

Jason Stephenson intact there are no references to dhcp even without the filter applied.

[@bjblackmore]

One question: Do I need to use MAC address spoofing as well? I'd read somewhere that Sky authenticated via MAC address, so using my Draytek I changed the MAC to that of the SR101, however it didn't work as I wasn't supplying the username & password. I guess what they meant, was Sky use the MAC address as the username (MAC_ADDRESS@skydsl). Now I've used your method, can I change the Draytek MAC back to default?

[@jamesjvj1]

Worked a treat, thanks! FritzBox up and running ;)

[@KiltedJock1]

superb

[@JPCNRC]

Great video. Thanks - worked a treat!

[@mattmay9298]

bang, pulled my details. legend.

[@darrengibson5322]

KiltedJock1 any ideas if I would have problems with connection my sky on demand to a third party router via ethernet cable? ive seen on the forums a lot of people whos worked straight away and others who cant get it to work. if mine doesnt work when my router arrives on monday do you have any suggestions on what I can do? IE - connect both routers together?

[@KiltedJock1]

Hi Darren. I personally haven't had any issues and I'm on a different subnet to what sky use as their default. That said sky are getting worse as there was a sky update a few days ago to the main viewing unit and now my on demand connector is flaky.... I'm going to try a couple of powerline ethernet adapters. If this fails ill do as you say and possibly try and use the sky hub as a dumb connector to see if that makes any difference

[@darrengibson5322]

This update worries however I can report my router arrived today ane both my wired and wireless sky on demand boxes are both currently working on my tp link router

[@the1theonlygman]

Hi my friend iv done everything you said but when I paste it in notes all I get is "=f4" I dunno what I'm doing wrong can you please help

[@UmmarFarooqMahroof]

I think maybe my way the password is encrypted so your way might be correct. Thing is I tried both methods but no success with either on my Belkin router. Using my method the password has about 23 characters in it with a "==" at the end, but using your method, the password has a "/" and "+" in it

[@nottsork]

Does This process also work for EE brightbox , for configuring Fiber(VDSL) passwords

[@KiltedJock1]

@gaz bates i did indeed say you need to reboot the hub Sky Router SR101 Username & Password Extract

[@ryanjohnson3998]

Thanks very much for the video, managed to get my username and password no problem. Do you happen to know ifthis will affect Sky on demand? Will I just be able to connect to my new router (BT HH5) or will I need to do some kind of work around?

[@KiltedJock1]

Won't affect it at all, just connect your sky box to the new router

[@seancarroll2440]

KiltedJock1 you are a ******* genius, thank you soooooooo very much i now have a working router! :) :) :)

[@hiimanshusrivastava-networ314]

Has anyone faced issues by using Cisco Routers? Today the DLAM on the sky side, kept dropping my connection, when I checked the logs of the PPP negotiation via console. Any views please?

[@KiltedJock1]

Well I am ccnp so I need more info to help yoy troubleshoot the pop negotiations. is it isolated to today or has it been happening frequently?

[@hiimanshusrivastava-networ314]

Ta, I will collect the logs and email you? Used Cisco 13 months without a single reboot. It was an isolated event, but the moment I connect SKYs router back there were no further issues The MACs of the ATM0 and Dialer 1 are spoofed as usual.

[@paulp9950]

its does work ,but the first thing you have to turn of all antivirus protection.ie avg etc like i said people all leave out the most important things . have fun

[@iMystixckz]

does this method still work because i am having trouble, different discover packets come up with " =0 , =dvb etc ? any help please ?

[@KiltedJock1]

Keep trying other packets...not all of them are skys DHCP discover packets

[@iMystixckz]

KiltedJock1 When i start up the wireshark and capture packets and its only my computer plugged in no dhcp packets come up at all? But when i connect my phone it just comes up =dvb? i have a static ip and all but i dont know where im going wrong?

[@ak47sim123]

Hello, I did every step , but every time I copy the client identifier in printable text only and then paste it in note pad this just comes up '=p\5'

[@KiltedJock1]

ak47sim123 keep trying different packets, some DHCP are from your own devices some will be from the router to sky

[@mtatemtate7145]

Worked a treat. Thanks!

[@UmmarFarooqMahroof]

I think it is easier to do a back up of the configuration from the sky router admin screen. The output is a .config file which is essentially a xml fil and can be opened in any text editor. then search for '@skydsl' in that and that should be it.

[@UmmarFarooqMahroof]

@@ElGaymerLocutus it's been a long time, the interface may have changed and I don't have access to the current router since I live in Canada. I think it should be similar, you could ask maybe by ringing the sky level 2 support. Sorry could not be more help

[@bedweljp]

Mine does not show Bootsrap Protocol.

[@asifrehman585]

what software do you need for doing this?

[@KiltedJock1]

***** wireshark

[@asifrehman585]

KiltedJock1 okay thanks

[@hemanparekh6646]

Does this still work had no luck

[@misterwireless5700]

Thanks buddy. Great job.

[@CarlosArruda77]

I get no DHCP lines!

[@chenhaoyu86]

Man, you are genius!

[@DannyKeeley]

if i upgrade from adsl to fibre, will my login change ?

[@Darkfire16]

If you have the router r102 from sky that is built in with vdsl, and then changed to another Vdsl router you should be fine. in my case I have the old Seagate and the new r102 and have done this for both witch are fixed to Sky, and had the same username n password, I cant see that being a problem. try some live forums, other may have had the same question

[@DannyKeeley]

yeah i think when they put me on a fibre line it will just reconnect

[@Darkfire16]

yea

[@KiltedJock1]

Danny Keeley hi dan, sorry i didnt reply earlier. techincally nothing will change, if you redo this guide, yes the username and password will change but its tied to the MAC address of the sky unit and they are expecting that to connect somewhere, so although the details might change either the new or old ones will likley authenticate to sky's service. just be careful from as darkfire said, your new router will need VDSL capability. like and share :D

[@DannyKeeley]

Well now I have sky fibre pro, any vdsl router does not work - for example dont get tp link. I got the Asus DSL-AC68U. Upgrade the firmware and you can totally replace that shitty sky router for good. I had to use wireshark to get my new login.

[@cool4345]

Think this would work with the F@ST2504n?

[@KiltedJock1]

cool4345 no it wont, however you can extract the username and password from that using a 3rd party website, www.cm9.net/skypass/index.cgi

[@KiltedJock1]

well i've done this more than a few times with no hassle, i suggest a few things ( you never know) 1, no one knows if your password is randomly made using your MAC or is its a generic to maybe the device serial, but for the sake of clarity make sure your kit is on the latest firmware ( it may generate it differently). 2, have you tried it without the == ? 3, post them here ( block out your 1235@skydsl part, i.e show me xxxx@skydsl, password), once i advise you i will delete it

[@KiltedJock1]

then you havent followed my guide correctly, other before you have done so OK. start again and follow each step, if you cant find option 61 not option 63 select another DHCP Discover packet until you find one. Jock

[@KiltedJock1]

if thats the case a .config file can opened with notepad. i'll have to try that. however my way still works fine :D

[@shellzz87]

btw your username is actually your macaddress@skydsl

[@paulp9950]

its doesnt work. you haven't explain it probably. do you do something with the router etc .or what all these video are the same you know wat yr talking about .its like me tell u to take a engine apart and leave out the beginning . so what am i doing wrong . thank u

[@shellzz87]

right ive done it... u forgot to mention that you need to turn the sky router off... unplug the ethernet cable from the sky hub that goes to the bt modem. plug ur ethernet cable thats connect to ur laptop/pc into port 4 on the skyhub. then it will reveal all via kiltedjocks method!!! heres a guide routerconfig.me/legacy/sky/Disabling%20Wlan%20Power%20Save%20in%20Windows%207.pdf

[@tonimcguinness6934]

Fantastic!!! Sky is a pain in a bum put this one sorted them out :P Can use my new sexy AC router ,thank you ever so much KiltedJock1 . I'd give you a kiss if i wasnt so damn ugly hehe , thank you thank you thank you :)

[@KiltedJock1]

Lol....

[@pureblood4386]

May i suggest you redo the vid again and remove all the errors you made while showing us the process, also stop clicking the top of your pallet while talking its very annoying, but apart from from that thanks for sharing your knowledge with us :D
