Getting root on a Sony TVThe Sony Bravia series of HDTVs are a great piece of kit theyre nice displays that usually have enough inputs for the craziest home theatre setups. These TVs also run Linux, but until now we havent seen anything that capitalizes on the fact these displays are wall mounted Linux boxen. Sam sent in an exploit to root any Bravia TV hopefully the first step towards replacing our home media server. The exploit itself is a regular buffer overflow initialized by a Python script. The script sets up a Telnet server on any Sony Bravia with a USB port, and provides complete root access. Sam was able to get a Debian install running off a USB drive and all the Debian programs run correctly. Firefox 35.1 more. If you have a Bravia youd like to test Sams script on, youll need a USB network adapter for the TV and a Telnet client to explore your TVs file system. Right now theres not much to do with a rooted Bravia, but at least now running XMBC or other media server on a TV is possible. If anyone would like to start porting XMBC to a Bravia TV, Sam says hes more than willing to help out. Were not aware of any HDTV modding communities on the Internet, so if youre part of one post a link in the comments. This security is so outrageous we had to look for hidden cameras to make sure were not being pranked. We dont want to ruin the facepalming.
