F454

Known flaws

root w/o password

At least in firmware versions v1.00.34, v1.00.37 and v1.00.45 the user root of the Linux system running on a F454 does not have a password set - by default. To be precises: It is the blank password.

This issue has been reported to bticino via it's community forum MY HOME on 2013/12/17 23:23 (see forum post). However, there hasn't been any reaction from any bticino/legrand representative yet.


SSH

startssh is a "custom app" for the bticino F454. Its purpose is to start the SSH daemon "dropbear" at startup to allow SSH logins. dropbear is actually already part of the F454 firmware (known: v1.00.34, v1.00.37), but not started automatically for unknown reasons.

The source code can be downloaded here:

https://github.com/joft/f454utils

To get started please have a look at the README file.

TODO for joft: Basically include README text here - or at least essential parts.
