Fantastic.

Since the zip also includes a bunch of shell scripts, I think it's possible I could also just install ssh directly - but the image will certainly make experimenting in a VM the safer option until something works out... ^^

Oh man, I can't wait to get home from work on Friday (currently stuck on the other side of the country 🫠)

Edit: also, can I somehow buy you a beer/coffee somewhere digitally?

No way!! You're the goat. I spent the day trying to get behind how the cracking worked by making simple examples, and you just... Solve the puzzle :D

Awesoms, thank you so much!! I'll appreciate update this thread if this leads to something :D

Theoretically... But this is 5 levels of knowledge above my head, I fear :D

I own the goddamn device, I should be able to do whatever I want with it...

The device, if connected, reads as mtp. Can't reformat.

Yeah, good idea. They added a network "mirroring" functionality at some point, so SOMETHING is listening on some port.

Oh, wow. I am so giving this a try. Huge kudos for checking the zip itself, btw! Thank you :D

Just for clarification though, do I need 12 bytes of the original content or of the compressed (but unencrypted) byte-representation of the zip file?

Edit: Ah, the repo links the paper. Reading now :)

Yeah, should have gone with that one... :D

Hmm, certainly worth a try! Thanks for the idea!!

Thanks, but that's the A5x, a newer Android version of the tablet (hard- and software are different)

journalctl -fu servicename

If I am concerned about a specific service, and can trigger the problematic behavior.

In my head it stands for "fuck you" ☺️

This cannot continue.
