I was fiddling with Telnet and decided to connect to my parents computer which houses the router. Upon connecting I got prompted for a username and password, so I just guessed and it connected. Now this isn't what Telnet usually looks like when connected to a local computer on the network, so I am curious if anyone here knows if this is Telnet on my router or is it Telnet on my ISP's end?

Here is a screenshot of what the connection information looks like:index.php?t=getfile&id=2814&private=0

busybox is a stripped down unix command line environment sometimes used in the firmware of small network devices, including Linksys.

Yeah, I got this recently whilst trying to get Ubuntu Edgy going on my laptop.

Yup, this is what I get when I telnet to my router.
The router's pretty clever, it runs a stripped-down MontaVista Linux on a Texas Instruments CPU. In theory, I could use the spare flash memory to store and run an IRC bouncer on it, but I'd have to write one really small first. Big Grin
