I have a problem. I have an embedded device that does not let me gain access.
ssh is block, but I can telnet into the port, only to be denied access. <snip> telnet 192.168.32.49 Trying 192.168.32.49... Connected to 192.168.32.49. Escape character is '^]'. VxWorks login: <snip> nothing I try works for an account name and corresponding password. I'm not sure if this version (is acually Vxworks ?) is based on their BSD or Linux based RTOS.... So I need a brute force method to gain access. It allows about 8 login attempts (60 sec) before resetting: <snip> VxWorks login: Login timed out after 60 seconds! Connection closed by foreign host. <snip> Any suggestions to automate this brute force effort? Maybe a fancy protocol-profiler program to look at the results of (ICMP) packets[it answers pings] to determine the actual underlying OS would be a good first step? Other ideas/methods to profile the (RT)OS are of interests to me. James -- [email protected] mailing list
