There is a simpler way. Just login as user
framework and password
mario. Then change your root password.
I just cracked it (again) with john to verify it. Then I successfully tested it using SSH over wifi to my K4NT:
ssh framework@<K4NT.wifi.ip.addr>
Use password
mario.
If SSH was not working I would use the tar exploit, but in this case SSH does work so I would recommend the simpler way shown above.
UPDATE:
login user = framework, password = mario confirmed working on the following Kindle models:
DX - Kindle DX
DXG - Kindle DX Graphite
K3 - Kindle 3
K4NT - Kindle 4 (Non Touch)
KT - Kindle Touch
Somebody please test this login password on these models and report back here:
K1 - Kindle 1
K2 - Kindle 2
It looks like we have a universal login.
