ATT Uverse RG Bypass (0.2 BTC)

@DefenderLLC I understand the box is combined but that doesn't necessarily mean the process is different to intercept/use. It sounds like the replies after ours show it has had some mixed success unless the all-in-ones register differently between models.

I certainly hope so. Most of them seem to have the BGW310. I have the BGW320 and I haven't seen anyone crack the cert/keys on that one yet. It's really not that big of a deal to me as I'm not experiencing any packet loss, but if someone gets it to work then I would love to try it.

@GPz1100 I'm using the dfp-34x to bypass the AT&T ONT and RG, but curiously, I don't need to authenticate at all with the DFP-34X. Does anyone know why I no longer need to authenticate with wpa_supplicant when bypassing the ONT? I've read conflicting info about whether authentication should be needed or not.

Prior to bypassing the ONT with the dfp-34x, I was using AT&T ONT -> Swtich (strip VLAN0) -> Pfsense, but could not pull IP unless I authenticated with wpa_supplicant.

Based on discussions on discord, it appears some on GPON users are connected to an olt that allow traffic without 802.1x auth taking place. That is, even when using the stock 010a ont.

Then there's your sfp which maybe spoofing a successful 802.1x response upstream. In terms of xgspon, it would appear 802.1x auth is not used (at this time?) with such implementations so devices such as the azores wag20 work with just serial/mac spoofing.

One thing is clear, att is consistently inconsistent.

Azores WAG-D20

So you are saying
Even though i have 1 Gig Att Fiber with a Pace 5268AC
i can use a Azores WAG-D20 to replace my Pace 5268AC and connect it directly to my pfsense box?
No headaches or setup just plug and play?

dreamdenizen

@Eddie55 it's not that easy. If you're on the Pace rg you likely have GPON, so the Azores ont won't work.

Eddie55

@dreamdenizen
what would you recommend i do
i currently have

Pace 5268AC
4 port pfsense router
Unifi 24 port poe managed switch

I have never been able to update past 22.05, but previously didn't have the time to extensively debug the issue. I am also starting to care more as I don't want to be running an unpatched, insecure system indefinitely. I am using the supplicant method which works great on 22.05. Certs are extracted from my BGW210, not purchased. Here is what happens if I execute the script manually in 23.01.

I never get an IP and the WAN remains down. Does anyone have any thoughts? My pfatt script is attached. pfatt.txt

The bug in e1000 that stopped it passing vlan0 tagged traffic is fixed in 23.09(.1) so try that.

You can probably do that directly without netgraph there too since both WPA and dhclient can now accept vlan0.

GPz1100

@stephenw10 Use of openssl 3.0 introduced other issues requiring some additional parameters in later pf versions.

I've attached a txt containing my notes from the discord discussion on the issue.

I upgraded to 23.09.1 and changed to using the method detailed here. However, wpa_cli status reports "connecting" and "unauthorized". The exact same hardware and certs authenticate fine on 22.05 using the old pfatt wpa_supplicant script. Any recommendations?

dreamdenizen

@jasonsansone

I put my certs and wpa_supplicant.conf file in /root/wpa and used the following earlyshellcmd and shellcmd. Worked perfectly fine on 23.09.1 until I bailed to OPNsense last week. Same commands are also working great on OPNsense 23.7.10 using rc.syshook.d scripts.

earlyshellcmd

ifconfig igb0 ether "xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx" && wpa_supplicant -s -dd -B -Dwired -i igb0 -c /root/wpa/wpa_supplicant.conf -P /var/run/wpa_supplicant.pid && sleep 10 && wpa_cli logon

Plug your RG ethernet MAC in place of the xx:xx... above

shellcmd

wpa_cli logoff && sleep 10 && wpa_cli logon

the -s and -dd flags in my earlyshellcmd will cause wpa_supplicant to push all debug log activity to syslog, so look there for clues as to what's happening if you still can't auth.

You may have caused your ONT to flag due to too many failed auth attempts, so make sure to push the reset pin in on the back before your first boot with these commands.

Good luck.

jasonsansone

@dreamdenizen can you please post your .conf just so I can verify? Thank you. Your method is what I was testing, except I will enable debug logging to better investigate. I had it working once, and then it stopped, which lead me to also suspect I got flagged for too many repeat authentications. Except it’s strange that a reboot into the old boot environmental using the supplicant script works. I would have thought that if I was blocked or suspended, it would fail regardless of method.

dreamdenizen

@jasonsansone your flags may vary based on what was extracted from your BGW210-700 or NVG so I would not recommend changing anything produced by the devicelocksmith extraction tool. My wpa_supplicant.conf is exactly what was spit out by the tool with the addition of

ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant

to account for running patched versions of wpa_supplicant prior to vlan0 handling being added to mainline. That added line works fine with mainline as well, so I never removed it.

ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
eapol_version=1
ap_scan=0
fast_reauth=1
network={
        ca_cert="/root/wpa/CA.pem"
        client_cert="/root/wpa/Client.pem"
        eap=TLS
        eapol_flags=0
        identity="xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx" # Internet (ONT) interface MAC address must match this value
        key_mgmt=IEEE8021X
        phase1="allow_canned_success=1"
        private_key="/root/wpa/PrivateKey.pem"
}

jasonsansone

@dreamdenizen thank you. Unfortunately the originally extracted conf has been lost. I was trying to avoid doing the extraction process again.

Extracted certs and conf from RG again. Used exact conf parameters and certs. Tested with and without PCP 1 and/or -vlanhwfilter. Same result.

dreamdenizen

@jasonsansone is that mac address listed in your post the MAC of the RG ethernet? If not, make sure to override the MAC address in Interfaces > WAN with that of your ethernet RG. I also recommend redacting it in your last post.

GPz1100

@jasonsansone Did you read my comments in post # 544?

jasonsansone

@dreamdenizen Good point on redacting, but it will no longer let me edit the post. Yes, the MAC is what was provided in the extracted conf and is also written on the RG. I have used the same MAC in pfatt.sh for years. Do I need to override the MAC in Interfaces > WAN in addition to setting it with ifconfig in the script?

@GPz1100 I attempted to, but admittedly wasn't able to fully track. I understand something with openssl has changed in 23.09, but it appears others have been successful using the same release. I may need an idiots guide to 23.09.1 because I have thus far failed.

Thank you both!

dreamdenizen

@jasonsansone mine wouldn't work without the MAC override in Interfaces > WAN
