Hacking in to my Y-CAM black, need help

Post by n1gp »

Thought I'd take apart my y-cam black today and see what makes it tick.

I found a 4 pin header that looked alot like a serial console connection.
Sure enough:

* +5
* out
* in
* GND

115200 8-1 baud

Wondering if anyone can help me with the login/password? I've tried the default
admin/1234, and various root/root, root/1234/ ....

BTW, since it's using linux isn't that company supposed to post the firmware source?

I see it boots linux and brings me to a login prompt, console dump to follow...

I downloaded the latest firmware - YCAM_BLACK_C_FIRMWARE_EN_V3.22B20090901 and the gzipped kernel is at offset 17320, the root file system - cramfs - is at offset 1135508. When I try to mount on i386 I get error:
# mount -o loop,offset=1135508 -t cramfs ./YCAM_BLACK_C_FIRMWARE_EN_V3.22B20090901.mfw /mnt/black

mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/loop1
[793735.980106] cramfs: bad root offset 80

This probably has to do with different page size on ARM and i386. Might need to fire up qemu or try to mount it on chumby.

I know this is an old post, but I'm desperately trying to find any firmware for a Y-Cam Black or Knight. If anyone has it, could they post it or DM me?

(there was a reply with an embedded link, deleted. mod)
