Topic: Dont buy miners from lketc.com Locked out SSH root to user, Stealing your hashes - page 2. (Read 10874 times)

well this problem came to me also and with help of cryptoceelo finally i have fixed it. so i just wrote a tutorial to help peoples regarding this with special thanks to cryptoceelo who came up with this issue infront of world and helped me a lot to learn something new.

Yes unfortunate you have to still be extremely careful with what are perceived to be legit companies

Any way fuck lketc and their clandestine ways, they are not the biggest issue now heat is

Thanks for letting us know. These days we can't trust any company, sadly.

changing a html file and the index root wont cause any issue, we run these with the web server off for additional security.

Im only here building the farm, but prague is beautiful

Then you do not need to post it, if it is the same, do not want to mess with a working system

P.S. I live in US, but I have got my BA from VSFS Prague, lived and studied there for 6 years. Miss it so much;)

Good point you just made linux is open source by closing it off they are breaking the licensing agreement. then again the chinese dont give a fuck about copyright -> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wonderland_Amusement_Park_(Beijing)

My situation was, that miners will not connect to the pools I input. Wanted to SSH, to ping the server from the PI. Default password was not working, so I have contacted my reseller, which has denied me with the access. I was in an impression, that the reseller is the one, who does not want me to have the SSH access, so I quited talking to him, and found the original English dragon 4 blade boot image here https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.6378219 and flashed the SD cards with it. And it worked straight away.

After that I have noticed, that cryptoceelo has the same problem with his 100 dragons, and that he can not get the access directly form the LKETC. That said, I am pretty much confident, that my reseller did not have the access either, so he just refused me, without going into the details and explaining, why he does not have the credentials.

Regarding messing with vitals, I think Raspberry PI boot is an open source project, isn't it? Or even if not, when you buy a Linux or Windows distributive, it comes with root level access right Same when you buy a hardware, with preinstalled firmware. Normal companies will give you the access, if you know where to ask:) If not, there is always a way to gain it.

Cheers

HAHA velmi dobrý, ale moje čeština je špatná, im z Anglie


It's exactly the same as the version i posted in the mega link, but the interface translated to UK, and the default index file in lightppd config changed from index.html to default.html so that the cron script doesnt constatly write over your changes. I guess the cron script copies original files from somewhere to web folder, but like i said i couldn't find out where from.

You dont need root to setup the system it can be done from the interface, which is fine managing a few machines, we are running a 100 for a test with the plan of running hell alot more, to make this easier, i developed a web program called 'smart Farm' that automated deployment and setup of the miners, as well as allowing you to remotely manage them and access all cgminer statistics, which required SSH and access to CGminer API to open listen. The iso shipped did not have cgminer API open so could not be turned on unless you had root. It also made it impossible to debug any issues. i understand they might not want you to mess around with settings but at the end of the day the chinese really dont care if you bork your system because then you just have to buy a new one from them or pay them to fix it all they care about is da moonies

i understand what root is for as I am very familiar with *nix
but do you need root to setup/use the system ?
sometimes manufactoruers dont want you messing with the vitals ?

I am not sticking up for them or defending!! I am just asking a question.

sounds like you have been fucked around and I would not of been happy either if I was you!

Thanks a lot! Can you tell me, whats the advantage of yours?

P.S. Dekuji za pomoc. Preji pekny zbytek dne.

I have the same iso at home where i translated the index.html from chinc to english and removed all the branding from the company, but even that iso has a cron script that constantly replaces the webroot with original branded files, even then i couldnt work out where that is being copied from. try it by editing the index and you will see it change back to the original, i had to change the default index file in lightppd lol (try it yourself and see) but that iso is at home and im currently in czech



i will post my english version with updated lighthttpd when i am home for you


Defiantly avoid especially since the yellow belled snakes wont even explain why.

Like i said i left the farm mining on our machines to return in the morning to find them mining on theirs


They are the factory so i guess it is their default their Default shitnami iso

Think your confused dearest Lisa, the iso is used on the miners and is a linux distro, it doesnt matter if you use mac or windowzzz

To paraphrase jim Layhey

Thanks, but got that one Have anything fresher?

Here is the English version : https://www.dropbox.com/s/yz02suc4j24ium4/dragonboot-4BLADE-ENG.7z

But it can only be used to Windows, not Mac.

Thanks.

Wow, another company on the avoid list.

Aren't you able to reset it to factory defaults somehow? Also this is really negative feedback for them, not allowing someone who bought something access to it? That's insane.

Jesus that's terrible I will not be buying any units from them, I wonder if the closed off OS has you balanced mining on one of there pools.

Is this one a fresher boot image? Does it have English UI?

Thanks!

will up-date you when i get back to the farm and it's humming away like a mofo

FUCK YOU LKETC I LOVE SLEEP DEPRIVATION ANYWAY ITS WHAT THE WEEKENDS FOR

The last days must have been intense. Good to see you're somewhat done with the trouble.

i know right, i feel for their resellers who will get customers complaining to them about this, and they look stupid because they do not know.

Any way i have literally been up since creating this post glad to say i have 4 cards left to flash
