No one here will help you find a program to hack into someone elses systems.
This isn't a scriptkiddy site.
And before you try to weakly defend yourself, field techs do not hack into someones system unless they are doing penetration testing as security consultants, and these people would already know all the in's and out's of doing this.

If you were legit, the people you are working for would be giving you physical access to all equipment, so you could console in and SEE what the settings currently are. This would take much less time than to try to hack the settings.
So no, you will not get help hacking, even if you are not a hacker. Does that answer your question?
And that no one else responded, shows that everyone else felt I had pretty much covered all the bases.
This is for working professionals, and what you are explaining you wish to do is not professional.
Asking for help to hack is NOT "the ligit way". Having the customer give you physical access to check all current setting IS the professional way as you can never assume that they are setup the correct way currently.
The other part that shows you are clearly lying is that Cable installers will not touch someones router, and only support directly to the PC UNLESS the provider is the one to also provide the router as part of a home network package.
Any professional would know this as well, not to mention if you DID work on their box, you would already be in the house.
You are a lier, a thief, and now a weasel.
I was polite and to the point before. You have now insulted everyone here with your whining and lies.

Something that you might not be aware of here- we get a LOT of folks in here looking for password hacks. Lately they just come screaming out of the woodwork. Maybe it is a seasonal thing, I don't know.
I can tell you that from personal experience, I hardly ever touch these questions any more. I was flamed once for telling someone that they needed to contact their manufacturer and was bombarded with peer mail by another guy who literally was threatening me (?). Had to block him from my email, he got so annoying.
The problem that you will have with using such a tool is that it will leave you open to accusations from your customers. Not good. I have Comcast service. If you needed to work on my system, I would need to be onsite or I would assume that you would need to reset my security to default. More likely that I would be there- I am very careful about my systems.
JD is one of the more helpful folks around here and I am certain that if you had any interaction with him, beyond a password issue, you would find him very helpful and very accomodating.
I put it to one guy this way- on an anonymous board, the fingertips on the keyboard could be anyone... nice guys trying to facilitate their work or juvenile hacker. There is just no way to know.
The rationale that you post for wanting such a thing makes sense. It would have been helpful to understanding if you had included it in your first post.
Incidentally, do you have a peer at Comcast that can lead you to better insight? Someone who is also doing the same work has a much better grasp of what you're working with and may have ideas we'd NEVER have come up with from sheer lack of knowledge.

Man, this is just classic.
Power outages breaking wireless connectivity and comcast needing a tool to fix it...
Hell, I thought comcast techs just fell asleep on your couch...

Thanks for wasting my time with your stupid reply.
How would knowing the passphrase help you hack into someone's system? The wep key is the shared secret in joining a wireless network. If anyone was hacking they would want to know how to take someone's passphrase and turn it into a wep key so they can get access to a network.
Thanks for polluting the google cache with worthless information for people that actually have a reason to do this.
It's amazing that security consultants are born knowing the ins and outs of how to do this. It's not like math where you can figure it out on your own....These conversions are arbitrarily created (like most protocols--see ATM header tax).

Someone should anonymize it and put it up as a FAQ!
Well Done!

and two ethernet cables.
very legal and very easy.
Just about any cable router will do just fine.

There are good reasons to want this,
because a passphrase is shorter. In other
words, to save typing in obnoxious hex
keys. This isn't useful for any sort
of "hack" as someone mentioned, it would
just simplify the process of entering the
keys into a bunch of computers.
However, I've looked everywhere and
couldn't find such a conversion tool.

I found the blog where you can download a program and its source code, and it does what you ask for.
You type in wep key and get the passphrase.
http://my-software-solutions.blogspot.com/
And for all those who think this can be used for hacking:
If you want to hack into somebody's network you need to find what wep key they're using.
I already had wep key, i just need passphrase that created it.
If I was a hacker, then having a wep key would be enough.
Besides the program wont give you the same passphrase that's been used originally, only different that will have the same result.
