Default Password toor for root Doesn't work on Fresh Image for Odroid C2?

[jsl303]

I downloaded and flashed kali-linux-2018.2-odroidc2.img. I booted up, and tried to log into ssh with username root and password toor. It says access denied. What's the default password?

[steev]

toor is the correct password.

If you have a second linux machine, can you mount the sdcard in it, and verify that the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file has "PermitRootLogin yes" in it and is uncommented?

[jsl303]

Unfortunately I don't have another Linux machine. :(

Plug a monitor and keyboard in and check?

[jsl303]

I'm visually impaired, , so I have to ssh from another computer with a screen reader.

[steev]

Unfortunately, there isn't a quick fix then. The image is missing that line in the config so you can't ssh in.

Is there a friend or someone you could walk through editing that file? All they need to do is find the line that says

PermitRootLogin prohibit-password

and change it to

PermitRootLogin yes

Thanks for the explanation. Could we get this fixed in the next release though?

It already is :) if you build an image with the script as it is now, you’ll get the fix.

Just a warning that the first boot also resizes the file system and reboots to do so. It will also rebuild the ssh host keys.

Also, if you build it yourself, you’ll want to run build-deps.sh first, to pull in everything that is needed. I haven’t updated the readme file to explain the changes just yet. Once I have all the images correctly building, I’ll be doing so.

[jsl303]

Awesome, thank you!

[jsl303]

When would the next image with the changes get released?

[steev]

I don't have an exact date unfortunately. If you have a kali VM, you can clone the repository, run the build-deps script and then the odroid-c2 script if you cannot wait.

2018.4 is out, please give it a test, and re-open if you still have this issue!
