Nathan Ramella writes "The ARCwelder project has released a technique dubbed "Go Fighting Tabby!" which exploits an unquoted system() call through the Archos UI, providing the ability to execute arbitrary code with root access on the Archos 605 wifi. In doing so, opening the platform up for further hacking. The Archos 605 wifi runs embedded Linux on an ARM processor, but employes a variety of anti-hack techniques to keep users from modifying its firmware and operating system. Included is a cross-compiled sshd with configuration files to allow for passwordless ssh access to the Archos when it is connected to a wifi connection. Bricks ahoy!"
