do you think that changing the mac address while emulating possible?

hg531s1.zip

I'm unable to extract the files from the hg531s1.BIN dbase file. Please inform me on how to extract these files or provide output from a run of zelos that attempts to reference the mac address.

dbase file ? i was able to extract the files from the bin using 7 zip.

We tried unzipping the .BIN file inside multiple ways, we weren't able to extract the file system inside. What version of 7zip are you using?

If their are any special instructions for extracting, let us know. Otherwise, I see the options as

• Try to rezip the files
• Zip using another tool
• Upload output from zelos instead

Another option is identifying how the binary is finding the MAC address.

• If the binary is accessing the mac address through the ioctl syscall, this can be addressed using a syscall hook.
• If the binary is accessing the mac address through reading the file /sys/class/net/*/address, a file of that name could be added using the --mount config option.

If you give some output from zelos that attempts to access the mac address, we can pinpoint which of these methods are being used.

@kvalakuzhyzp
I got an error too... but the files are there.

Binwalk works just fine for extracting.

I don't think that the mac address is in the firmware file.

We have not created a unified interface for setting hardware information such as the mac address. However, there are work-arounds to control what the emulated program perceives the mac address to be. We'll update this issue when such an interface is created.

In order to know how to control the mac address, you need to know how the emulated program attempts to access the mac address (or address all possible ways). If you want more information on these workarounds (ioctl an/sys/class/net/*/address), I can provide that in the meantime.

@kvalakuzhyzp no problem i will be waiting for that :).
