Antminer Hack S9 /S15 / S17 / Sx aso. SSH and so on for free

[kasner]

Ive connected to S15 ok. But SSH service doesn't starts after reboot. If i run it from command line service starts fine.

Code:

/usr/sbin/dropbear -r /config/dropbear_rsa_host_key -p 22

How to fix that ?

hi everyone!

I managed to log into the miner over serial. After that I created the RSA Key without the -y argument, because the file didn't previously exist. That created the dropbear_rsa_host_key succesfully. However upon reboot I am unable to SSH into the miner. I can SSH into the miner if I do

Code:

dropbear -r /config/dropbear_rsa_host_key -p 22

and then ssh into the miner from another computer in the network.

I started investigating and found /etc/default/dropbear and /config/dropbear. Those two files contain only a line "NO_START=1". I changed both to "NO_START=0" but it didn't work. After restarting the miner, both files will show "NO_START=1" again.

I cannot for the life of me find out what other process or init script is chaging those files and making the dropbear not start appropriately.

Can someone give me a hand, please?

EDIT: I tried editing /etc/init.d/bitmainer_setup.sh and comment out all the lines referring to dropbear and the config files. Doesn't work. After reboot it gets back to the original state.

I cannot find the init script that makes that file go back to its original state disabling dropbear init script.

So, all the exploits I knew of are now patched in the latest firmware. So I'm trying the FTDI method. Can I get some help here?

HACK FIRMWARE and SSH and EXPLOIT for free

• buy this ftdi /2EUBb3P]https://[Suspicious link removed]/2EUBb3P
• install cooltherm http://freeware.the-meiers.org/#CoolTerm Mac/Win/Linux/Raspi (DONATE)
• connect to any antminer board
• Connect ftdi to usb
• start CoolTerm
• Set 115000
• power on your miner
• login as usual: root admin

I got the exact FTDI board linked here. Using an S9 for testing, but not getting any data over serial. I've tried different computers (2x Windows 10, 1x Linux running inside a VM) and different USB cables, no dice so far.

Could be my FTDI board is bad, but I want to make sure I have the setup correct:

- Does the square hole on the board correspond to DTR or GND? When I connect DTR, the control board lights up even with PSU off.
- Are we supposed to use 3.3v or 5v? 3.3v does nothing for me, but the above works on 5v.

Any suggestions?

What about exploit file?

It seems the 1st exploit was just a file that explored a bug by http access, someone sent me the file, but gives me some error testing, someone can tryit using a linux computer that can run anything even in the case could have virus?

This is supposed to work just running the command and giving the IP of machine we want to activate SSH as parameter, i dont have success because there is some error, but other guys i passed this they get another errors, this is supposed to run in Ubuntu, someone can try in a closed environment for the possibility of virus and give feedback?

Hi all,

I managed to unlock a new S17 antimner to run SSH.
If you are running light http 14.3.2 it will work. If I get enough requests I will do a medium post to show how it's done.

In a nutshell the SSH service that ant miner has installed is called dropbear and is automatically re-activated if you manage to create a SSH key.
This version of light http allow you to create files directly on the system.

Cool!
Did you unlocked S17 with 0524 firmware or  with latest firmware?
Could you please let us know which security issue of lighttpd is being used? Do u have the exploit or cve number?
Thank you in advance!!!

thank you for the post and the help here. I followed these directions below and had a little trouble but ultimately was able to get "almost" all of it working for an S9.

I am using the following Firmware

Code:

Miner Type	                              Antminer S9
Hostname	                             antMiner
Model	                                     GNU/Linux
Hardware Version	                     30.0.1.3
Kernel Version	                             Linux 3.14.0-xilinx-ga36f3af-dirty #90 SMP PREEMPT Thu Jun 20 15:01:47 CST 2019
File System Version	             Tue Jul 30 20:37:39 CST 2019
Logic Version	                             V1.3.56
BMminer Version	                     2.0.0

Problems I noticed:

It appears that Bitmain has taken some precautions to confuse us a bit more

- Changed the ownership of many directories away from root
- Changed Read,Write,Execution settings for certain import files (including some dropbear related files)

Results:

After giving ownership back to root and allowing those particular dropbear files to be executed, I was able to get the RSA Key created!! SUCCESS KIND OF ;(

However, dropbear will not start and I cannot figure out why. So I was hoping that someone could give me a couple commands to try and I will post the results back here.


*****UPDATE*****

Finally I was able to get this to work.

Please DM me if you would like the solution. Not charging anything, its just better this way.

cdmkultra, mate I would love to get the solution you've mentioned but you have recieving messages from "Newbie" rank blocked so I can't contact you via PM. Please set it differently (it has to be done explicitly with checking "Allow newbies to send you PMs." option in the Personal Message Options in your Profile settings. Or contact me via PM.

Does this still work? Will it work on a S19J Pro?

Thanks
