Telnet/SSH password not working

[tcmoreno]

Hi, I have been able to install without issues the fang hacks and using my camera with RTSP. Version is 3.0.3.56

However I cannot access the camera via SSH/Telnet. I get password error (root/ismart12). On the other side FTP works perfectly. Any idea of what can be happening?

If you updated to latest version possibly the root password is changed. Happened to one of my cams (but not on others, no idea why). Can you run commands using the snx_autorun.sh script? You could put a passwd command in there to change it.

I will try that way, should look like this? echo "password" | passwd --stdin root

[samtap]

Use this: echo -e "password\npassword" | passwd I'm curious what the changed passwd is, so could you add something like cp /etc/shadow /media/mmcblk0p1 before that, to copy the passwd hash file to sdcard?

Can you get the new iSCS binary file too once on?

Not working yet, my snx_autorun.sh file looks like this

[samtap]

"Not working" doesn't tell me anything. Does it not run the script? Is the shadow file copied? Does it output any errors? Append >> /tmp/hacks.log 2>&1 to redirect output to log and cp /tmp/hacks.log /media/$MDEV to copy log to sdcard. Remove other stuff not needed. You need to be on older fw as the new fw versions don't run snx_autorun.sh

Any luck extracting that password yet? I have the same setup and can't use ssh.

[tcmoreno]

Nope, I gave it up :-( Good luck with it...

I had this problem with one of my four cameras. It came out of the box with an unknown version of the firmware which refused to run the snx_autorun.sh, so I ended up downgrading it to an earlier firmware. In the spirit of contributing, I added the following to snx_autorun.sh:

cp /etc/shadow /media/mmcblk0p1/. >> /tmp/hacks.log 2>&1
cp /tmp/hacks.log /media/mmcblk0p1/.

In the resulting log file, I saw

cp: can't stat '/etc/shadow': No such file or directory

Huh. My camera didn't have a shadow file? Weird. But since I have three other working cameras, I was able to recover. I moved the SD card from the fickle camera to my computer and I used SCP to copy the shadow file from one of my working cameras to the sd card:

scp root@<IP-Address>:/etc/shadow shadow

Then, I edited snx_autorun.sh once again:

cp /media/mmcblk0p1/shadow /etc/shadow >> /tmp/hacks.log 2>&1

I put the SD card back into the camera, rebooted the camera a couple of times, et voilà! I can now SSH in using the root/ismart12 username/password combo.
