Here below I just give a thread about how to manipulate your wireless router by refresh/read/delete logs. I think you could do more things than this. As the theory is the same.
This scipt can be used for monitoring who else is using the network doing what now if you find your WoW is lagged so much 🙂
There is a wireless router I connected is a NetGear WGR614v7. After accessing the adminstation page, we can find that it is a very simple web page. so we could use the common webpage crawling way to deal with it.
Actually the script I pasted below is a guide for how to deal with the Basic Authentication of HTTP and some use of lxml and re:
