I thought the stuffs get loaded into a ramdisk? Memory corruption can
cause that stuff to go stupid. Lighttpd crashed and now can't be started
since the binary in ramdisk is corrupt. I've seen this on M gear for
ever. Even after a month on the tower, new radio out of the box. Just
power cycle it. If the NVRAM took a shit, then you might be in trouble
though. You can always try TFTP recovery from the ground.

Sounds like your radios are infected due to not updating the WEB UI
will say corrupt flash and wireless function will stop but you would
still be able to log into it

Flash corruption happens over time, anywhere from 4-6 years from
what I've seen on these.
Normally by then there's some form of upgraded model to replace
them with. They've definitely served their purpose by that point
though.

I’m starting to see a drip, drip, drip of UBNT M series
radios in the field that don’t respond on the web
interface but you can SSH in with the correct (non
default) user/pass, and get various levels of
functionality from there. Usually the wireless isn’t
working, but I have one today that is fully functional as
far as wireless and passing data. Once you SSH in, a few
commands work, but many just hang. Like you can ls but
not cd, cat, or vi. It doesn’t seem to be infected, more
like corrupted firmware in NVRAM or something, I wonder if
the NVRAM is starting to fail in these radios. I don’t
think there’s enough working to reflash the firmware.
I’ve just been replacing radios when this happens, but
there seems to be a trend, and I’m wondering if this is a
known thing.
FYI, the UBNT malware tool connects via SSH and then goes
off into checking and never reports anything, just hangs
like the CLI commands.
