how can i use curl to login into non digest login sites?

Question

the router login page

i have tried

curl http://admin:admin@...*/

but it doesn't work

Answer 1

open the network tap using ctrl+shift+I

then reload the page

type the password and the username then click submit/login

in the network tap you will find router ip

right click on it and click copy the command as curl (cmd)

then remove all the ^ from the command then past it in cmd and you are done

so the command just looks like this

curl "http://192.168.1.1/" --data "frashnum=&action=login&Frm_Logintoken=24&Username=admin&Password=ZAQXSWCDEVFR"  -v

and don't forget to update the Frm_Logintoken

the Frm_Logintoken is a token generated by the router and it basically increment by one on each successful login!

you will find it in the router page html code in the elements tap or view page source code ctrl + U then ctrl + F and type token then press enter and look for the value !
