<div class="gmail_quote"><div class="im">> Hi<br>> The scenario is as follow:<br>> 1. You have permission to work as Admin on a Lan<br>> 2. You do NOT have any documentation from the previous Admin<br>> 3. You find a router / WiFi Router that is in use and therefore you can NOT reset it<br>

4.v This router is a "home" / consumer router like Netgear, Linksys, etc. So not an enterprise router<div class="im"><br>> 5. You need to brows to the routers config web page to make some changes (you assume the default admin and password for the router) BUT you do NOT know > the IP address<br>

6. You know the router is NOT a DHCP server<br>> <br>> Now the question is HOW do you find the IP address of the router ???<br></div></div><br>_______ - ____ - ______________<br><br>Thanx all for the response <br>If it was the only router / WiFi then it would have been easy but there are multiple routers / WiFi access points AND a firewall router (this one is sorted) but the others I have to check and make sure there are no IP conflicts, change the PSK and so on and so on.<br>
<br>I will look into Kismet, (know about wire shark), nmap, netstat...<br><br>I also found: <br>nagios - <a href="http://wiki.contribs.org/Nagios" target="_blank">http://wiki.contribs.org/Nagios</a><br>OCS - <a href="http://wiki.contribs.org/OCS_Inventory_Tools" target="_blank">http://wiki.contribs.org/OCS_Inventory_Tools</a><br>
