Escort Radar Web Site Asking for Username / Password

[qwer43]

I am trying to access the Escort radar site but it is asking for a username / password. Could somebody please verify? Thanks.

Yeah, I think something's wrong with it.

Here is what Esoterica observed last night and posted in the other thread:

I see http://www.escortradar.com/ is up, but it now prompts you for a password and displays an error message...

Access Denied: Password Required
when trying to obtain /9500ci.htm

Access to this document requires a password.

I was just at http://www.escortradar.com/9500ci.htm this morning and it didn't ask for a password.

http://www.escort-radar.com/ is still down

http://www.radardetector.com/ prompts for a password

http://216.68.224.4

http://www.escortinc.com/ prompts for a password

I think the VP may be getting "router" and "routing" confused, even if they pulled the physical routers the DNS info should have still resolved like it is now.

I just tried http:/www.escortradar.com/ and its asking for a password. Likewise http://www.escortradar.com/9500ci.htm is prompting me for a password too.

I wonder if somebody set the router for WAN access to its internal web server for maintenance purposes. I guess that would cause it to ask for a user name and password when anyone from outside their local network tries to access their web site on port 80.

I was trying to do a Nmap scan on it to figure out what brand it was.

http://nmap.org/

Figured this password prompt was likely the factory default user name and password. Thought I'd screw with them and change the password on them by looking up the users manual on line and finding out what the defaults were for it. (They'd easily be able to clear it if physically at it with a reset). I couldn't tell for sure what it was though and by the time the scan completed they were already back up and running again.

Sysops don't like getting scanned like this, fortunately they didn't detect me doing it (at least yet, might still see it in their logs) and block my IP (not that I can't change it easy enough by running C:\IPCONFIG /RELEASE then C:\IPCONFIG RENEW)

I did a google search and found the default for the switch, it wasn't on default
