DCS-6500LH U-boot info

[enerdk]

Hi All

I have tried to use the defogger script on my DCS6500LH but it didn't work.
I then added serial terminal to the camera in hope that I could login as root to the system but I couldn't find any useful passwords in the GPL Source Code: DCS-6500LH A1 FW v1.x files.. Maybe I looked for the work things??! but no variable with password= was useful.

So therefore Im asking you the experts if I can do something from the U-boot terminal?
Below are the variables that I could find.

I used hashcat to Brute-force the root password from the open source files found on dlinks page and the result i got was
"hashcat.exe -m 500 -a 3 "$1$CDMS1AEo$oFm3oJFXjQVO8az337T6t0" -O -d 1" gave the result: a0n1ipc
I have tried on my camera but it didnt work.

If you append:
init=/bin/sh to the bootargs, i. e.:
setenv bootargs ${bootargs} init=/bin/sh
You should be able to get root prompt. That worked for me using a DCS-6100LH

@ErikAndren thanks a lot!!!
it worked and now I have shell access to my camera.

When you have shell access run the command "/etc/init.d/rcS"
Dont change password as my camera is not working with WIFI right now?!

Did it just work with the mac address and the pin to connect? Because I always get the error:

Connecting to B0:xxxxx...

@PascalMinder
The defogger script doesn't work at all on this camera or at least not to my knowledge.

[PascalMinder]

Okay, I thought at least I could also connect the same way via Bluetooth. But it seems as if the camera does not have any Bluetooth capability...

[enerdk]

Its not using Bluetooth - its just using the Bluetooth software library for the defogger application.
