You can search for vulnerable sites on google with the following dork “Comtech FX Series” or maybe in shodan if you want.

Let’s start!!

We need to use the default comtech credentials to access on the administration panel (comtech:comtech)

Go to the Menu and click on Operations > Diagnostics > Ping

On target IP Address input we can ping an IP but we can add other command behind of “;” in this case, we are going to use an “id” command.

When we press OK, the result show us the user and groups.

It’s time to automate!

Thanks to SamneZ for help me with the script on Python 😀
