SonicWALL SRA 4200. Hardware hacking!

(1/6) > >>

pappkopp:
Hello!

I picked up an software bricked firewall from SonicWALL.
I opened it up and i saw that it used standard ATx Pc components, so i am wondering if it can be hacked to run custom firmware?


I have the standard hacking tools: Jtag, TTL, Serial etc. Can this be done? I tried to mount the flash card to my workstation but it won't. because it has some kind of bad blocks or something, i think its locked or what?

Ive hocked it up to an videocard, please see the images!
I can provide all the information possible!!

Kind Regards.

Do you have any info on the CPU and other hardware on it?

NiHaoMike:
What happens if you swap the CompactFlash card with one that has a LiveUSB distro installed on it?

pappkopp:
I will go to the store as soon as i get the time, regarding the flash card. Pick up a new one if no one got an suggestion for mounting the drive on my WorkStation (Linux or Windows tools will do)

Regarding the CPU i don't know anything. I'm gonna pop off the heat-sink if i can't get the flash card to boot.

Regards

Monkeh:
It shouldn't be much trouble to get a Linux distro booting off those.

It's got hardware crypto of some sort, too.
