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. _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.canterbury.ac.nz/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
