Logging in without ADB, after rebooting; chat

[apple-corps]

From a chromebook in developer mode ( using crosh / chromebrew ) , I ran the exploit and some of the utilities. I changed the root password. By the way, it prompts for changing the root password repeatedly. I was able to get a shell on the device. Then I rebooted the device.

Unfortunately the chromebrew doesn't have ADB. Then I looked around the utilities but didn't realize how to login again. Thinking about this securely, we probably need to install / enable sshd. I am assuming the device doesn't have this.

So then it appears that I can run the exploit again. When running the exploit again it prompts me to change the root password. So I tried this again. But then when I try to get the login shell, I am no longer able to.

So I guess we're really supposed to use adb to securely login. But some platforms might not have adb. So getting SSH functional might be worthwhile.

For the time being I need to try to login to the device again. Then I assume I need to mess with the scripts to make sure that telnet is sending the proper password. I will try to fiddle around with this more. Hope I am able to get a root shell and get this sorted out. Thanks for your effort with this utility!

Finally, is there another place to discuss this utility, perhaps via chat?

Looks like this suggests a way to provide ssh. Then need to try to get a shell again so I can install dropbear OR openssh

Will update when I attempt to get a shell again at a later date.
