www.walmart.com/ip/Cablevantage-Centurylink-C4000XG-WiFi-6-Router-with-5-Port-Switch/388471745 so i had one of these lying around from who knows where...you can enable ssh daemon, but 1) very limited busy box 2) 8M ram disk 3) no chmod ........... however, they left 1) ability to write to / 2) /lib/libc.so /.x WORKS to run dynamic binaries 3) busybox echo supports -e for hex, e.g. echo -ne \xff it uses openwrt i believe, so i found the sdk, and can send a hello, world program that way and run it lol root would be better but this is 3x "BogoMIPS: 666" mips 32-bit cores? 1G RAM? not sure what the real cpu speed is if i can find a way around 8M ram disk would be nice lol https://github.com/paldier/prplwrt lol ^ GitHub - paldier/prplwrt: openwrt19.07 for lantiq grx500 · GitHub i don't know what the point of allowing ssh is, you can't even ping without root. i'm not sure what they intended it to be used for i can't even chmod a binary that i echoed into existence...but that still works to run it lol : 2) /lib/libc.so /.x WORKS to run dynamic binaries https://x0.at/ySyr.txt part of a script, you give it a binary file and it generates sshpass commands that call echo -ne \xff\xaa\xbb > output_file ................... takes about 50 seconds to transfer ~3k hello, world that way lol ^ [text/plain] (810.0B) i am writing little tiny mkdir chmod symlink rmdir unlink rename chown lchown C programs and going to try those lol but i should be able to cross-compile a full coreutils etc. lol whatever can fit into 8M lol wget or curl should fit in 8M lol or netcat the ssh daemon on there is dropbear so no sftp i believe
