Hi there i have seen several tutorial which explain that using a web brower you can enter a routers IP addy and get the prompt for credentials, by clicking cancel you can get the hash of the cisco password and if the password is level 7 it can easillly be cracked on multiple sites.

to try this i set up home pc a 2950 switch and a few routers, once get connectivity and able to ping/telnet etc i opened a browser (Both IE and firefox) and entered the ip i had assigned to the router (10.0.0.1) but just got this page cannot be displayed error message.

Am i doing something wrong or missing a step as i just cannot get this working. thanks

ip server http
I think

Dunno what router model you have. Many info can be found searching the Cisco site.

This might help:

Step 1 Enable the HTTP and HTTPS servers on your router by entering the following commands in global configuration mode:

Router# configure terminal

Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.

Router(config)# ip http server

Router(config)# ip http secure-server

Router(config)# ip http authentication local

Router(config)# ip http timeout-policy idle 600 life 86400 requests 10000

If the router supports HTTPS, the HTTPS server will be enabled. If not, the HTTP server will be enabled. HTTPS is supported in all images that support the Crypto/IPSec feature set, starting from Cisco IOS release 12.25(T).

Let me know if it works. Otherwise try to find some Cisco books.

Is this link any help to you?

Keep in mind: The HTTP server was introduced in IOS release 11.0 to extend router management to the worldwide Web.

The HTTP server is not enabled by default except on unconfigured Cisco model 1003, 1004, and 1005 routers.

So I would advise to check out what IOS version you run

Just curious if you got all working Pls update your post if you have time.
