There’s one more easy way to get root access to the Stora, this time by enabling the telnet daemon that is running by default on each device.
How to do that:

  • Download the TelnetEnabler file/script, .exe version (here) if you have Windows or python script (here) for all other platform (of course you can use the python script even on Windows, but that requires Python interpreter).
  • Get your Stora ip and mac address (the mac address can be obtained using “arp -a” or looking behind the Stora, there’s a sticker with the MAC address printed.
  • Run the .exe or the python script with the following options:

For the Windows version: telnetenable.exe STORA_IP STORA_MAC_ADDRESS Gearguy Geardog

For the python version: python telnetenable.py STORA_IP STORA_MAC_ADDRESS Gearguy Geardog

If you did all this correctly, telnet should be enabled on the stora allowing you to just “telnet STORA_IP” and get root access.

From that point on, follow the tutorial on the wiki or on the forum to get the best from your Stora!
