Thats what i was thinking, why do you think they have an sshd running?
Now we just have to find out the root passwd (btw, is it the same everywhere?) and get the iLiad to keep the network connection open.

on another note: did someone try a link to "about:config" yet?

Yes, but that didnt work. Do you know where the properties file is on a linux machine? Then we can read it directly (not change it though).

Or is ther another way to get to about:config via a link, maybe some javascript? CTRL-O to open a file didnt work either.

/home/user/.mozilla/default/lalala.slt ...? Or are we talking about a different properties file...?

I've added a small bit about .xeb/.ceb to the English Wikipedia entry on e-books. That might draw folks who know more about it and want to expand it, though I would not bet on it.

(BTW, I am not planning on getting a Iliad, I just like the feeding frenzy here.)

This pdf launchs xterm and xclock when used in an standard unix machine under xpdf (it asks for confirmation, do not worry). Try it to see if it opens the confirmation dialog. Just open it and click one of the links. The first one is an standard URL link, the two other are /Launch actions.

UPDATED: I have put some other links to experiment parameters, and attached the tex source. Note that it is to be created with pdftex, not with plain tex.

In fact, it looks like it's based around familiar linux (the Open Embedded generated distribution for iPAQs, similar to OpenZaurus).

And about the usb-eth, for using it between the iPAQ and a PC, it was as simple as modprobing usb-eth in the iPAQ and modprobing usbnet in the PC. Then you configure the usb0 device in both sides (with ifconfig, in the same way as you configure eth0), and voilà, you have networking using usb ;-).

It seems that the iliad has an static IP for usb, but we don't know if it has the usb-eth module loaded... what are the contents of /proc/modules ?

And another bit of info: in the screenshots tribble posted, it shows that it's using minimo (a stripped-down version of mozilla for the GPE environment, used i.e. in the GPE images for the zauruses). That is, it's not firefox.

Sony did.

We were able to log it because a guy decoded the actualisation process, another one used the altered update to translate some dialogs to english, and then they did a small change to the rc.d scripts too. I think they did, not sony (I could be wrong because I do not read japanese blogs)

i never thought i would have to dig in the world of password cracking tools.

well, i did, i tried to run a dictionary attack on the password, and i succeeded. Well, more or less.

Actually there is now password set. =)

now you got your root password, tribble.
"root"
""

maybe you can try to login while checking iDS?

arivero · 07-17-2006, 12:01 PM

user root, password root ??? Most probably network logins are disabled, then.

DHer · 07-17-2006, 12:05 PM

err.
no password.
User: "root"
Password: ""

Edit2: no password cracking talk

Well, if xpdf is unpatched, the pdf file attached six messages above should be enough.

branko · 07-17-2006, 12:23 PM

My guess would have been: "homer", "god", "zeus", "root", "", "henk". In that order.

DHer · 07-17-2006, 12:23 PM

but i think it would be boring if the iliad is cracked *before* i can hold it in my hands.

nonetheless, great work with this pdf.

hm, what was the usual way of dealing with empty passwords on linux systems? Doesn't that usually leave a account disabled?
