If you're going to enable incoming connections via WiFi then make sure that everything is locked down and that you've changed all the passwords.

Meaning don't use the SSHD provided in the USBNet packages, because it bypasses the password .

Heh. Turns out I'm not so far gone as I thought, I didn't think of that method before because it indeed couldn't work on fw 2.x... -_-".

Is there anything in the 3.x otaup script that would explain why they moved the remount before the initial unpack again? Or are the guys at lab126 just being nice? |

However, they may have moved "mntroot rw" to the beginning of the install loop for that very reason that there was no longer any danger from tar bombs. When they rolled busybox back they should have moved the mntroot rw back to where it had been in 2.5, but they did not. The other possibility is that my testing was wrong, and jailbreak actually did work on 3.0.0. But that would mean that 3.0 was not based on 2.5, and not even on 2.3, but on even earlier version of FW. At least the parts of it that handle the update (otaup). |

Huh, weird. Thanks for the history lesson .
On a sidenote, the fairly recent busybox I have installed on my Gentoo ~x86 sytem does follow symlink by default too. |

But if they move the mntroot command back below the initial unpack, then we're back to square one. |

Just got a Kindle DXg.
But it dose not support Chinese as Kindle 3. I jairbreaked and tried some fonts. The problem is if I choose some better chinese fonts then the english fonts is ugly. I like the original Kindle English Fonts. But I want it support Chinese Characters. If the Kindle 3 is support chinese. It's fonts must support chinese. So anyone got Kindle 3 jairbreaked. Please copy it's fonts out and I want to give it a try. Thanks. |

The normal error tar should give is: tar xfvz update_jailbreak_k3g_install.bin.tgz 1 1/pubhackkey01.pem tar: 1/pubhackkey01.pem: Cannot open: Not a directory tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors And, of course, if the filesystem is read-only, there's nothing to write to |

Well, apparently, my local busybox setup (1.17.1) is still vulnerable, but, yeah, GNU tar is a bit brighter .
Thanks for the explanation . |

Hi,
I just today got a Kindle 3 and I would like to know if there is a safe way to make it do this USB networking? For the reference, I don't really know what a jailbreak is when it comes to Kindle, and I would not like to install any hacks at this time as I'm new to Kindle. I could play with the debug mode to get usb networking to work if I can use the web browser that way. I didn't find this in FAQs so I'm asking a newbie question here. So.. a safe way to get usbnetwork to work and use it with the web browser? :-) Thanks. |

I haven't tested the tethering on a K3... Because it doesn't make much sense to me since every K3 model has a WiFi module .
