MOTOTRBO codeplug password recovery

I have this information and i would like to share it with you.

MOTOTRBO codeplug password recovery :

- Use wireshark.

- Start the cps, and start wireshark.

- Select the port the radio is connected to, and start wireshark recording / sniffing

- Read the radio, until it gets to the password input box.

- Go to wireshark and stop the recording

- Sift through the large data packet. It should be one of the last few sniffed if you stopped wireshark shortly after the password box came up

- You are looking for a word or numbers with full stops in between - so a password of 'password' would be displayed in wireshark as p.a.s.s.w.o.r.d

- It's usually just before the radio name, so if you are reading a display radio, then its very easy, just look at the display when you turn it on, and look for that in the wireshark dump.


I hope this tip may save you some time by avoiding complete reprogramming, enjoy ...

Hi,

Yep, this method works with previous firmware releases, but unfortunatly, it doesn't work anymore with latest firmware version...

Which firmware version do you have ?

For your information, ******** stated that starting from release 10.5 Build 551 EMEA the password will be encrypted during the transfer from radio to the PC.
That means that after this release only = no more interception with Wireshark.
