UK-user Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Like skibo187's post "PC unable to connect" (https://forums.hak5.org/topic/50725-pc-unable-to-connect/), I too am experiencing repeated failures to connect to my SharkJack, either via Windows10 or Linux. When using Windows 10 I can ping the address 172.16.24.1 and see it the device listed in ipconfig, but when I try to connect via PUTTY, I get "PUTTY Fatal Error: Network error: Connection refused" When trying to connect via SSH on Linux it refuses to accept the password I am running the latest firmware and managed to connect after upgrading, but connections are rare, it mostly fails to connect. I've waited over 3 minutes to ensure its booted up and it still refuses to connect. I'm becoming increasingly exasperated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm becoming increasingly exasperated We are gonna need a little more information about: - How you have it connected to the machine? - Are you able to connect to the WebUI at all when in Arming mode while connected? - Have you factory reset the device and still have the same issues?

UK-user Posted February 16, 2021 Author Share Posted February 16, 2021 I have connected it physically to the Windows10 machine and virtually to an OpenSuse VM in virtalbox. The latter is slightly more reliable, but only just ... What WebUI? Thats news to me ... I haven't done a factory reset, that seemed a bit drastic before I had checked the fora Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InfoSecREDD Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 And the WebUI is the IP of the SharkJack (1.1.0+ Firmware) in your browser once the device is in Arming Mode and detected by the machine. Aka. http://172.16.24.1/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InfoSecREDD Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Should be able to "Connect to SSH" and "Connect to WebUI" if your SharkJack is updated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UK-user Posted February 16, 2021 Author Share Posted February 16, 2021 Hi, thanks for all your patient help. The ps1 worked but the connections to web and ssh didnt, even though its knows its there I've gone for a reinstall of the firmware Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UK-user Posted February 16, 2021 Author Share Posted February 16, 2021 I've oticed that in ipconfig it occassionally reports the ip address of the device as 169.254.240.192, and sometimes in Windows network devices it cant see it at all (network disconnected) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UK-user Posted February 16, 2021 Author Share Posted February 16, 2021 I've still got the same issues. It pings to 172.16.24.1, but the sharkjack.ps1 cant connect via ssh or web - manual attempts in windows 10 also fail I had initally managed to get a connection via SSH on my OpenSuse VM, but it just hung and now refuses conections Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just reinstalled the firmware on the spare SharkJack I have and no issues. I think this issue is due to your setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
