sploders101 Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 I just got my new Shark Jack in the mail today, and when I was playing around with it I realized it didn't have curl. I saw on the guide that it comes with opkg to install extra packages, but it seems to reference the 18.04-SNAPSHOT version in the OpenWRT repositories, which does not exist. I started looking through the packages, found some dates, and looked for the version that has "Last Modified" dates similar to the Shark Jack version, and settled on 18.04.1. However, I'm not sure if this is correct. So far, it's worked for libustream-mbedtls, ca-bundle, ca-certificates, nano, and curl, and seems to be fine. Can someone confirm this? Ideally, I'd like to see an official firmware update with fixed URLs, but this seems to work for now. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dark_pyrro Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 What Shark Jack model is it? Battery or cable? What firmware is it on? 18.04 doesn't seem correct, it should be using 18.06 distfeeds. The snapshots aren't available anymore. It's not any official solution, but the 18.06.0 distfeed should be possible to use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sploders101 Posted August 15, 2023 Author Share Posted August 15, 2023 It is the Shark Jack Battery on firmware version 1.1.0-stable (the latest available for that model on downloads.hak5.org) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sploders101 Posted September 13, 2023 Author Share Posted September 13, 2023 I’m just now seeing this as I’m going to bed, but I did fix this before posting here; I just wasn’t sure if it was the right way to fix it, but I haven’t experienced any issues thus far. I will plug in my shark jack tomorrow morning and post my exact configuration here so you can give it a try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, just being 18.06 isn't enough (since the already existing distfeeds are using 18.06, but the "snapshot" version which isn't available anymore). As I said before, use 18.06.0. Not an official fix, but should work. Also make sure that the date and time is correct on the Shark before issuing opkg update. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pejmun Posted September 13, 2023 Share Posted September 13, 2023 Thank you for the response, so what is the link that I need to change with the current distrofeeds file located in /etc/opkg/distfeeds.conf. This is what I have in the distfeeds.conf. I want to edit it and change them with working versions. I can't find for e.g. packages, base, luci, packages,routing,telephony ?

Will this cause any issues and is there any work around this For now; no. It's just a "dummy packages" file and doesn't have any impact on the system/updates at the moment. You can see for yourself by downloading the gz file and opening it and look at the only file that is in there (says "fakepackage"). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pejmun Posted September 13, 2023 Share Posted September 13, 2023 I see ok, thank you. Just out of curiosity what did the packages.gz from hak5 do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dark_pyrro Posted September 13, 2023 Share Posted September 13, 2023 As far as I know, nothing. If I remember it correctly it has just been a "placeholder" when it comes to the Shark specifically, i.e. "for future use". I think the reason to why it fails is because of a correct public key that is not available to verify it all. If you download the file manually (using wget for example), it works OK, but not using opkg and that's probably because of the fact that opkg is trying to validate using "usign" but is unable to verify it all and fails. It was a while since I looked further into it, but I think that was my conclusion. However, I just let it be since the Hak5 package file didn't add anything to it all being a "dummy".
