Pegasus review, lies and greed of FSL3D

[chooch]

I've been working on it, I was able to download some files from the beagleboard a while back, and ran it through a password cracker and cracked a few passwords, but was never able to log in to the machine via ssh/telnet/etc. I was debating ripping out the electronics and creating my own.

For supervat, I was just looking into the MUVE "super" vat. I think it seems much better than the FSL3D one, which I never bought because I gave up on the printer a while back until I realized it's just sitting there and basically a paperweight.

Creating new electronics would probably be the best thing to do.

I'm actually trying to get into it right this very minute, using their very own Pegasus Remote Supports Reverse SSH GUI program. :-)

If anyone wants the program, I'll share.

Also, I think I discovered why this machine has been cast aside... the Mechanical Engineer and the Retina Create Engineer don't work at FSL any more.

What is the Pegasus Remote? That would make sense if their ME and RCE. I've figured they were running out of money, but they seem to have big $$$ that's been coming in....but their terrible support has probably scared off many new customers. I know I would *NOT* buy a Pegasus Touch today; even if it were $100.

It's a program that remote support uses to get into the Pegasus. I think that they left a port open on the BBB and it scans until it finds the open port and then sets up a reverse SSH tunnel.

How did you get the files off the BBB, if I may ask?

I did a almost a year ago....but basically I removed the BBB, attached a serial port between it and a computer, and was able to get access to the console and used the boot manager on it to look at the file system and files on it, PITA. I'm guessing they'll patch things up if they can if they find out people are exploiting things. I'd be interested in getting more info on what you used to get into the machine.

Might have to try that, if this SSH tunneling program doesn't get in.

Ahh, I thought you were able to get in. I wasn't able to with the passwords I received (which were sooooo very secure! this is sarcasm BTW). I don't want to post them online in case someone ends up finding a way to use them to hack people's printers.

Well, the ssh tunneling is going to take days. It did 80 ports with 5 attempts each and that took 6 hours. It's some sort of brute force attack program. It tries a port on the ip and I assume it attempts 5 different passwords. I did an open port scan though and really 22 is the only one that shows the ssh protocol, there are several others that are open, but nothing displays, also when I try the tunneler on them nothing appears to happen. Last night I tried the serial method and was able to see it boot, I have yet to poke around. There is still two other methods left to try and crack this nut if these current methods don't work.
