Re: [Full-disclosure] Great application for the Pinnacle ShowCenter 200



I just setup a Pluto Home system (smarthome + media server, plutohome.com, free open source). It’s really cool. It has a streaming movie server, music server, PVR. Plus it does home automation and controls a/v equipment too. There’s only 1 problem…

Umm ... so where's the disclosure here?

Since you're a ub3rl33t hax0r, fire up your sniffer and figure out what filename the firmware fetches (and grab the image to disect). Then setup your own tftpd and try a minimal linux kernel compiled for the correct processor, video, and IO chipsets.

You could also use this almost unheard of tool to find stuff :

for which the top link is :

http://webboard.pinnaclesys.com/read_threads.asp?WebboardID=1&ForumID=1088&lng=1&SectionID=219

Yep. Even Pinnacle's own read-only FAQ webboard has info on alternative UI's. Check article #6.
