How to reverse set top box of TV
Dear ppl,
How can I reverse set top box of IPTV? I don't know how to start this kinds of reversing. My questions are... 1) how to reverse the ROM or memory of set top box? is there any universal method to download the firmware? (and maybe including upload the modified firmware) 2) how to capture the packet of IPTV with my PC? I don't know how to configure the network. |

1) No universal method. Identify firmware and hardware components first. Then decide which method applicable to grab fw.
2) Configure PC as proxy and grab traffic using wireshark, for example. |

in my experience most Topbox have option for RS232 serial cable.Never seen one with it.
Uselly Putty the best software to grab / upload FW via RS232.Think off the port as a recovery (flash port) Im pretty sure there have been made some custom fw for IPTV, (running on dreambox top-box etc)

1/ Reversing the firmware of STB could be easy or difficult depending whether or not it is encrypted or not. It will depend too on the CAS Provider requirements (nds, irdeto, ...).
2/ In order to capture packets, find a hub or a switch with a mirrored port capability and set your PC on that port; then give Wireshark a try : it's powerful tool: you can decrypt all kind of traffic: dhcp (bootp), udp, ... Cheers |
