| Access to SSH, telnet, FTP and other services | ||||
| --------------------------------------------- | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| Very often stock firmware provides access to its operating system but the | ||||
| access is closed with an undisclosed password. We can recover a cryptographic | ||||
| hash of that password while extracting a copy of the firmware image. | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| ### Password hash | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| ``` | ||||
| $1$bh2njiGH$4duacOMcXDh6myANzbZTf. | ||||
| ``` | ||||
| The hashed salt password string consists of three parts: hashing algorithm | ||||
| identifier, salt and password hash, each of which is preceded by a dollar sign. | ||||
| The first part, `$1`, is the hashing algorithm encoded with one (rarely two) | ||||
| characters. It denotes the cryptographic method used to generate the hash: | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| - `$1` - MD5 algorithm. | ||||
| - `$2` - Blowfish algorithm. | ||||
| - `$2a` - eksblowfish algorithm | ||||
| - `$5` - SHA-256 algorithm | ||||
| - `$6` - SHA-512 algorithm | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| The second part, `$bh2njiGH`, is a salt - a character string added to the | ||||
| plaintext password before hashing it in order to randomize the resulting hashes | ||||
| for the same password and prevent [rainbow table][1] attacks. | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| The last part, `$4duacOMcXDh6myANzbZTf.`, is the hash. When you enter a | ||||
| password, it is concatinated with the provided salt then hashed using the | ||||
| provided hashing algorithm and the result is compared to the hash. | ||||
| Same password, salt and hashing method will always produce the same result. | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| Hashing algorithms are one-way encryption methods meaning the hash cannot be | ||||
| decrypted back to a plaintext password, but it is possible to perform hashing | ||||
| of available variants of plaintext passwords until the match is found. | ||||
| This method is called the [brute-force attack][2]. | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| IP cameras tend to utilize a relatively simple and fast MD5 hashing algorithm | ||||
| so using a password-breaking software and powerful computing resources the | ||||
| original plaintext password can be picked in a matter of weeks or days, if not | ||||
| hours, especially using high-quality dictionaries. | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| In the example above we used password "openipc". You can check the validity of | ||||
| the password using either `mkpasswd` or `openssl`: | ||||
| ``` | ||||
| $ mkpasswd -m md5crypt -S bh2njiGH openipc | ||||
| $1$bh2njiGH$4duacOMcXDh6myANzbZTf. | ||||
| $ openssl passwd -1 -salt bh2njiGH openipc | ||||
| $1$bh2njiGH$4duacOMcXDh6myANzbZTf. | ||||
| ``` | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| When the password is found, it is wise to share it publicly, so that other | ||||
| researchers in the field could dedicate their cryptographic resources to | ||||
| discover even more yet unknown passwords. Sharing is caring, boys! | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| ### Some passwords that we found in different firmware | ||||
