I'm seriously on the fence right now about buying a VCS and bringing it out to the pentest village (or its equivalent) at Defcon this year.  That would be a very interesting live-fire exercise; I'm just not certain that I can budget it between now and August 5th.

Hopefully you made this happen.

Hello,

On Github.com you write "The root of the Dashboard appears to use some sort of encrypted file names." 

Does it mean that there is no way (due to encryption or atypical files) to expect find and modify files like .xml to modify Dashboard appearance ?

 

Thanks again for Debian Buster code name

it is unclear. I doubt the obfuscation is strong. Someone needs to research.

Making the file executable did the trick.  Able to connect to VCS.  Thank you!

Excellent! Thanks for getting back to me. Have fun!

Thanks, I know for Apertis, but like for Ubuntu 20 is named "groovy gorilla" or Kodi 18 named "Leia"

Is there a name other than Apertis for this specific distibution ?

Wired connection.  Won't be able to do anything else until at least Sunday.  On vacation in pretty remote location.

I noticed what may be the cause of your issue. Pull the most recent copy of the script down. I added a "chmod" command.

Script run and verified folders / files exist on mmcblk0p4.  Cannot connect

 

Not sure if should connect in Apertis boot screen or Atari OS.  In Apertis screen (CTR +C) device is not connecting to network.  In Atari OS I get connect refused, but able to ping ok.  Picture shows nc output when trying to connect in Atari OS mode. 

 

Not sure what to do.

 

 

Wireless, or wired? I've seen some inconsistencies between both. I use wired exclusively for now.

see if you can login as root on the Apertis terminal on tty2.

For what I see (structure system), maybe hope come from https://www.apertis.org/ community (I don't know it) where AtariOS seems to com from 

This will allow you to have a persistent root shell on the running Apertis system. It exploits the OverlayFS features to set a root and user password, and launch a backdoor root shell on port 4444.
