JKAIN Posted September 17, 2017 Author Share Posted September 17, 2017 So i have a LG prepaid phone that i picked up for 10 bucks on sale. I have SSH set up on it, and i was ssh'ed into it via pc.... ran the command and it restarted my phone! So, IDK is it a proper exploit? Thank you, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JKAIN Posted September 17, 2017 Author Share Posted September 17, 2017 I did some more research last night.... and what i came up with is that restart -p dose not work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JKAIN Posted September 17, 2017 Author Share Posted September 17, 2017 I came across this exploit by attempting to use startX in an SSH session. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digip Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 I wouldn't call SSH being an exploit. If you're SSH'ed in, and as root, you can do whatever is available for the phone. Not all commands will run if not as root, such as shutdown commands like "poweroff" but depends on the phone and security of the user context you have control of.

JKAIN Posted September 18, 2017 Author Share Posted September 18, 2017 so i guess it's just a bug then, but here it is. root@kali:~# inxi -Fxz System: Host: kali Kernel: 3.10.49-gacc13996-00001-g6c9d187 armv7l bits: 32 gcc: 4.8 Desktop: Xfce 4.12.3 (Gtk 2.24.31) Distro: Kali GNU/Linux Rolling Machine: No /sys/class/dmi; using dmidecode: unknown error occurred -Restarts phone.

digip Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 inxi is used to gather info on a linux OS. I gather there is an issue when used on a phone, which I assume is running some manner of NetHunter? One post you said you tried "start x" on the phone(which not sure how/why you'd do that over SSH) and now inxi, which sounds like it's crashing somewhere. I'd say more bug than exploit. If you somehow took control of the crash, to stop the crash but insert code to get root or such, then I'd say is more or less an exploit, but right now, just sounds like a crappy, crashing phone..lol Don't sneeze too hard on that LG. it might reboot.
