Hacking and Pen-Testing With The Nokia
770/800/810 Notes
The n770 and n800 are Linux based
mobile devices from Nokia that are designed for portable web surfing, Internet
Tablets as Nokia calls them. The platform for these devices is know as Maemo and
since it's Linux based many hackers have extended its functionality greatly. Since both
models have built in WiFi and Bluetooth, and the older 770 model has come down
in price ($130 when I got mine), I've decided to use it as a mobile
pen-testing device. This page will be a collection of my notes on how to install
and run hacking/pen-testing software with the n800/n770/n810. This page is a very
rough draft for now, I plan to update it as I have more information to convey. The Operating System Obviously, the first thing you will need is the proper OS. For my notes, I'm
using Internet Tablet OS 2007 Hacker Edition (abbreviate IT2007HE) on a Nokia
770. IT2007 is meant for the n800, but the Hacker Edition version will run on
the n770. I'm hoping that by using this edition I'll be able to write notes that
should work on both models. To install IT2007HE download it from:
http://tabletsdev.maemo.org/os2007_hacker_edition.php then use the installer from: http://europe.nokia.com/A4144790 When the installer asks what firmware to use, point it at the bin file you
downloaded from Maemo.org. Everything else the installer should walk you
through. For the record, I'm using
SU-18_2007HACKER_4.2007.36-2_PR_F5_MR0_ARM.bin. Adding Software Maemo appears to be Debian based
and uses the APT package management system. You can install software off
the web
by using repositories you download from, or by installing individual .debs from
the RS-MMC card. You can set up repositories by hand if you wish, like in the
following screen shots: Or by using the built in web browser and clicking on
.install files that are provided by the developers. The following are
repositories I found useful, just open up your n770/n800s/n810 web browser to
this page and click on the .install files to add them: Repository Name: Polish Eko1 repository Notable Packages: Not sure Install File:
http://irongeek.com/maemo/eko1.install Notes: I've put this up despite it not having
packages. If you want a large list of repositories, check out
http://gronmayer.com/it/index.php?lang=en&system=maemo4 Once the repositories are set up you can install apps using the Application
Manager and let it take care of the dependences for you. Just choose "Browse
installable applications" and go through the alphabetical list, or use the
binoculars icon to search for the package you want. It should be noted that to install some packages you will have to be in "Red
Pill" mode. If you ever get an error that says you can't install something, put
your tablet in "Red Pill" mode by going to add a new repository, typing just
"matrix" in the web address line then hitting cancel and choosing Red as show in
the screen shots below. If you want to find even more software for you 770/800
check out
http://maemo.org/community/wiki/applicationrepositories/ . Using the above repositories you should be able to add
pen-testing apps like Nmap, Kismet, Netcat and others. Becoming Root For some apps
like Kismet a Nmap, to get the full functionality you will have to become
root. The easiest way is to drop out to a command line using Xterm and type
"sudo gainroot" then use use whatever apps you like. That's it for now, more to come later. MetaSploit!!! Pierre Droids has
done some work to install Metasploit on the n800. Check out his blog entry
here:
http://blog.pierre.droids-corp.org/2007/04/n800-with-scapy-and-metasploit.html and download hi packages from here:
http://pierre.droids-corp.org/maemo/ He even has a newer version of Nmap for use. Step by step instructions for
installing Metasploit on your n800 can be found here:
http://mfresh-n800.blogspot.com/2007/07/installing-metasploit-framework-3-on.html I'm still working on getting it to run on the n770. Conclusion If you want be to continue working
on this page send me your how to snibits and suggestions and I'd be glad to add
them. If you are still having problems, check out by video on configuring a
