Not all config.bin files are created equal. ZTE has used at least three encryption schemes over the years: Decrypt Zte Config.bin
Download the config.bin from the router's web interface (usually under Management -> Flash Management). On-Device Decryption: This write-up covers what a ZTE
A GUI-based alternative for users who prefer not to use Python scripts. On-Device Decryption: Choose a tool compatible with your specific model
This write-up covers what a ZTE config.bin file typically is, why someone might want to decrypt it, legal/ethical considerations, and a practical, reproducible method to extract and decrypt configuration contents (passwords, settings, firmware info).
