Rooting Toon (or boxx)

[elmex]

oh man.. harstikke bedankt.
dus gebruik toonrooter,wachten totdat 'INFO:rooter:Your Toon is now rooted. Please wait for it to boot up and try to log in using SSH' wordt weergegeven.
Vanaf dat moment moet ik de toon via ssh benaderen en dan de opgegeven wachtwoord hiervoor gebruiken.
..

Ja precies Zo makkelijk is het dus eigenlijk. Maar je hebt vast in die drie dagen veel geleerd

ja..nu de volgende uitdaging..het verder configen..wifi enzo
nogmaals bedankt voor de snelle antwoord

Wifi doe je gewoon op het scherm zelf op de normale Toon manier.
De eerste stap na rooten is eigenlijk het aanpassen van allerlei settings zodat je Toon vrij wordt gemaakt van Eneco. Dat dat je met het update-rooted.sh script met optie -f (zoals in de manual topic staat beschreven viewtopic.php?f=100&t=11235#p82533 )

Hi everyone,
I have been able to root my Toon (I think), yet I did not expect a password requist after logging in with "root" (see below).
I did have some trouble restarting the firewall (ig iptables), could there be a relation?

The easiest way is to get back into your u-boot again.
then edit this file agian: /etc/passwd
If you want 'toon' as youre password, you can use also this command:

Code: Select all

sed -i 's/root:[^:]*/root:FTR0zlZvsHEF2/' /etc/passwd

I borrowed the command from the tsc settings, thanks Thehog!

[johan3958]

Oh that simple!
thanks mAiden, I'll try it this evening!

How did you root your toon? If you use the toonrooter script you probably missed the generated password in the few last lines of the output of the script.
If you did it manually, you should have known the root password yourself

[yjb]

Are you sure the password gets stored in /etc/passwd? I honestly believe it will need to go into /etc/shadow.

That is for the toon2. The toon1 still uses the /etc/passwd location.

[johan3958]

I should have done this in summertime....


I don't know how, but something is emtying my /etc/passwd file at startup.
Hence by the time I have to login, there is nothing to rely on, login failure.

To get at this point I tried everything, amongst others ToonRooter (that got stuck in an early phase, tried sereral times, things were broken already probably).

How can I get my /etc/passwd filled with data?

Johan

[TheHogNL]

Please explain your steps because it is unclear to me.

By the way a normal toon1 passwd file (with root password 'toon') has this content:

Code: Select all

root:FTR0zlZvsHEF2:0:0:root:/root:/bin/sh
daemon:*:1:1:daemon:/usr/sbin:/bin/sh
bin:*:2:2:bin:/bin:/bin/sh
sys:*:3:3:sys:/dev:/bin/sh
sync:*:4:65534:sync:/bin:/bin/sync
games:*:5:60:games:/usr/games:/bin/sh
man:*:6:12:man:/var/cache/man:/bin/sh
lp:*:7:7:lp:/var/spool/lpd:/bin/sh
mail:*:8:8:mail:/var/mail:/bin/sh
News:*:9:9:News:/var/spool/News:/bin/sh
uucp:*:10:10:uucp:/var/spool/uucp:/bin/sh
proxy:*:13:13:proxy:/bin:/bin/sh
www-data:*:33:33:www-data:/var/www:/bin/sh
backup:*:34:34:backup:/var/backups:/bin/sh
list:*:38:38:Mailing List Manager:/var/list:/bin/sh
irc:*:39:39:ircd:/var/run/ircd:/bin/sh
gnats:*:41:41:Gnats Bug-Reporting System (admin):/var/lib/gnats:/bin/sh
nobody:*:65534:65534:nobody:/nonexistent:/bin/sh

[johan3958]

oke,

I started with the tutorial for the raspberrypi (rpi zero w)
JTAG, minicom, openocd telnet.
That did not go as planned, anyway somehow I have the "8" version u-boot installed and the known password works.
changed the files as marcel suggested. Tried to install dropbear, succeeded partially, that is, I have an SSH connection over wifi with loginprompt. this works apart from the password part.
This evening I typed the /etc/passwd code, like you posted (with root: xxxxx: and without root:: ).
restarted serveral times, but everytime the file is empty by the time I have to login.

Yours Johan

How do you know your passwd file is empty during the login prompt? You need to login to check that

When you modified the passwd file, how did you reboot the toon? You never should power cycle the toon just after changing a file as that makes the file empty after boot. On a toon1 you type /etc/init.d/reboot

[johan3958]

TheHogNL...

you are my hero!
I'm in. I don't understand half of what you're all saying, yet it works.

your reboot trick did it aparently.


Keep on the good work!

Thank you all,

Johan

Yesterday I've rooted my Toon with ToonRooter script. Now I want to change the root password but I don't know how.
The command passwd in a root shell doesn't work.
Does someone knows the trick?

Run the command

Code: Select all

/usr/bin/openssl passwd -crypt yourpassword

To create the crypted version of your password and then put it in the right place in the /etc/passwd file (or on a toon2 /etc/shadow)

Or with a simpel oneline:

Code: Select all

PASS='mypassword' ; CRYPTPASS=`/usr/bin/openssl passwd -crypt $PASS` ; sed -i "s#root:[^:]*#root:$CRYPTPASS#" /etc/shadow

Change the mypassword by your password and leave the rest.
