I am a bit reluctant to ask this, but I see no other way out. If
people know the answer but don't want to publicly display their
cracking skills, feel free to email me offlist.

I have a guruplug server which is a plug device, runs linux. Trouble
is I reset the root password to something I have forgotten. There is
no way to boot it in single user mode, or any other boot hacks that
one might employ on a x86 machine. The only way in is a proprietary
jtag connector which is <<expensive>> and needs to be shipped from
somewhere else in the world.

The only way I can think of getting in is that it runs ssh by default,
and I need to do a dictionary attack. Can anyone tell me where to get
software that might do this?

ports open are:

nick@dell:~$ nmap 192.168.1.1

Starting Nmap 5.00 ( http://nmap.org ) at 2011-05-15 11:53 NZST
Interesting ports on 192.168.1.1:
Not shown: 993 closed ports
PORT    STATE SERVICE
21/tcp  open  ftp
22/tcp  open  ssh
53/tcp  open  domain
80/tcp  open  http
111/tcp open  rpcbind
139/tcp open  netbios-ssn
445/tcp open  microsoft-ds

So if it's easier to do with ftp, thats an option too.
