root password of camera

Post by apolonio »

I have a couple of 1080P PoE IP cameras I got off of ebay.

Once and a while the camera would go out and I would have to reboot it.

I have been using the web interface to manually reboot it, but I would like to use telnet and an expect script to reboot it (this works with some cameras I purchased on Amazon)

I did portscan the box and found that port 23 (telnet was open). I tried several root passwords I found on the Internet but still could not log in. I did come across firmware that matches these cameras and was able to get the file system using binwalk and unsquashfs. I was able to get /etc/passwd (there is no /etc/shadow).

I got this from /etc/passwd
root:0.IQvJd8bXSWU:0:0::/root:/bin/sh

I am not familiar with the hash, I tried an online password decoder (crackstationDOTnet) I guess I could try John the ripper, but was hoping someone would recognize this type of hash.
