Aerohive Key Generator

Aerohive access points enable users to configure devices using a restricted command line shell.
There is an undocumented restricted shell command _shell which spawns /bin/sh if given the correct password.

This tool generates that password for the AP230 and AP130, as those are the devices I have on hand.

Usage

go build .
./aerohive-keygen --serial <your devices serial number> --version <your firmware version>

Enter into the restricted shell, and type _shell, enter in the generated password.

Todo

• Add support for generating AP130 keys
• Detect platform from serial number
• Add version parameter for AP230
