Sebkinne Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 Heya packet pals - Wouldn't ya know it, a dozen days have past since the Packet Squirrel release and we're already dropping new firmware chock full o' features. What features you might ask? Nuttin' much... (Gotta make that pun quota) Packet Squirrel version 1.1 includes a brand new NETMODE. It's the sheep!!!... ...like Dolly... The sheep that was cloned. Yeah...I know... NETMODE CLONE does just what you might expect, cloning the MAC address of the target device from the Ethernet In and spoofing it for the LAN on the Ethernet Out ports. To use, just set your payload to NETMODE CLONE and deploy as usual. Once the MAC address is sniffed from the target (IN) it'll be cloned on the LAN (OUT) side. Super Sneaky Secret Squirrels know the stealth deployment – that is by powering on with only the IN port plugged into the target device (computer, printer, etc). Then once the MAC address has been sniffed the LED flashes white rapidly, indicating that it's safe to plug the rest of the network into the OUT port. It's a one-two punch sure to pass a sniff test or two. Speaking of sniffing. SQUIRREL! I mean, PACKETS! USB WiFi cards featuring the RaLink RT3070 and RT5370 chipsets are now supported by the Packet Squirrel for both monitor mode and client mode. Standard configs apply for these NICs. Speaking of NICs. SQUIRREL! I mean, USB Ethernet Adapters! CDC_Ether and the ASIX AX88772 are now supported. This means the Packet Squirrel can now be friends with both the Bash Bunny and the USB Ethernet adapters included with the Hak5 Field Kits / Ethernet Essentials Kit. For the tunneling folks among us, the OpenVPN payload is now portable, so feel free to carry multiple VPN profiles on the various switch folders, each with their own config. Perfect for those of us who tunnel to servers in various legal jurisdictions. Speaking of tunneling. SQUIRREL! I mean, SSH! AutoSSH has been replaced by SSHTunnel, a package that does an even better job of maintaining numerous tunnels simultaneously. And finally, ssh-copy-id and lsusb have been included for convenience. Phwew! Installation Instructions: Download the upgrade file. Make sure that the filename is upgrade-version.bin (where version is the firmware version, e.g. 1.1) and check that the SHA-256 sum matches. Copy the upgrade file to the root of an NTFS or EXT4 formatted USB flash drive. Do not rename, unpack or otherwise alter this file. Plug the USB drive into the powered-off Packet Squirrel Flip the Packet Squirrel payload select switch to Arming mode (far right, closest to the USB flash drive) Power on the Packet Squirrel from a reliable USB power source. This process takes 5-10 minutes and will be indicated by a series of LED lights. Do not power-off or otherwise interrupt the device until the flashing process completes. LED Upgrade States: Green flashing - booting up Red/Blue alternating - flashing firmware Green flashing - rebooting Blue flashing - upgrade complete, arming mode ready Changelog v1.2: Added crc32c libaries and kernel modules for better mass storage support Added 'empty' to firmware Added shadowsocks client to firmware Changelog v1.1: Added NETMODE CLONE Added wireless drivers for RT3070 and RT5370 Added ASIX AX88772 and CDC-Ethernet drivers Added ssh-copy-id command Added lsusb command Replaced AutoSSH with SSHTunnel The default OpenVPN payload is now portable (can be moved to a different switch positions) Download: upgrade-1.2.binSHA256Sum: c1f2cbe2096fd04df3a91721b447573b1005894809592d0a76bf865992d16b7a Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave-ee Jones Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 I feel like Sebkinne was a tad on the-SQUIRREL!...*phew*-drunken side when he wrote this up. Trying to find a picture of a squirrel and a bunny almost hugging while watching a sunset or something..Doesn't seem to be one :( (UP! was a great movie, by the way..)

We wrote the release together, live in a Google doc. To be perfectly honest, I had expected Seb at some point to have jumped in and stopped the shenanigans - but... Here we are! On a more serious note however, it's awesome firmware so go try it :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RazerBlade Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 Can we sometime expect support for Fat32 storage? Namely because the BashBunny uses it. It would be cool if we could pair them together Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can find the answer on the documentation page, found here. Also, try not to quote the huge OP next time. Commenting on the OP usually means you're talking about it anyway, so you don't need to quote it (especially if it's HUGE, haha). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sundhaug92 Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 @Dave-ee Jones Fair point, however the documentation has not been updated for 1.1 and thus doesn't have any info on CLONE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PixL Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 This is top work especially the USB WIFI support, is hostapd supported or would it function with a scripted client mode to connect to an AP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now, it's client only. While I absolutely see a use case for the Squirrel hosting an AP, it may not fit into the firmware. We'll see what we can do.

Connecting to or hosting an AP sounds ideal for something like the PS. And then you can do things like bridging from another AP (potentially), or making an AP using the Squirrel's NAT network type.

Skiddie Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 Does the squirrel have issues getting the update files over USB 3.0 ? Seems not to trigger the update, USB stick is working, formatted correctly and the .bin name is correct Suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SSH in and do "$ df -h" and see if it even shows /dev/sda1 which would be your usb stick. If not, run "$ reformat_usb" and go through the instructions and then try. I have noticed that after I do that command and use the USB on my linux box (mint18.3), I have to run as root to make changes to the USB disk.

No. Just new look logo/stickers for the family. One of my Packet Squirrel ones was taken by my friend's daughter (she loved the purple - heaven help us if she ever meets Snubbs) :) He brother took the Pineapple sticker. Their mum took the Rubber Ducky sticker. I am so glad I bought extra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
