Direct TV box hacking Anonymous 2017-07-09 07:48:12 Post No. [Report]

Sup /g/, I this old direct tv home client and am interested in re purposing it. My initial thought was to make it some sort of access point.

Theres not a lot of information about this kind of project since im pretty sure DTV likes to lock their shit down (not even a single screw on the outside of the damn thing).

Any ideas on what I can do? Or at a bare minimum any ideas on how I can get access to it from my computer so I can potentially reverse engineer or root it?

look into key sharing (IKS) or SKS, that box is useless

I commend you for your nascent hacking spirit, but you're not going to get very far with this "ask people for step 1" approach.

Turn off your computer, play some music and just fuck with the thing for a while. Poke and pry, take notes on stuff you see once you get it open, etc. Learn what's going on in there and let your imagination have an actual chance first.

Im more of asking if knowlede already exists for getting access to the device. Im pretty new to this kind of project, and while tearing it apart has always been on my mind as an option, perhaps someone here has some info on rooting such a device before I start breaking things.
