Axis Wireless (or otherwise) hacking

Post by coke »

So, if you ftp the /etc/inittab file from a camera, uncomment out the telnet server line, and reboot it;

Code: Select all

4.40.1
Linux 2.6.16 on a armv4tl (00:04:29)

There's a reboot command, and what appears to be a scheduler (utask). I'm planning to try setting up my wireless cams (which are a bit flakey on staying connected) to reboot themselves. I have a cron job on my server that reboots them via their cgi, but if they've dropped off the wireless, that doesn't help.

Ok, finally got around to some mucking around, found their API docs, etc. Details on this thread.
