Sonicos Enhanced 6.5.1.3 12N Upgrade Path ToSonicWalls that have been discarded because of a Dell upgrade path to 6th.Gen. models. These units are party disabled by Dell: most of the security functions are impaired and the licenses have all been tranfered to the newer models.
However, as SonicWall units have some nice hardware features and are pretty good performers Id like to give them a second life. Maybe I can make them SNORT around my home network and do some IDSIPS by installing another distro on them. ![]() Sonicos Enhanced 6.5.1.3 12N Series That II want to start with a TZ210 unit because its not that much of a pitty if I brick it permanently while on the other hand it is quite comparable with the NSA- series that I also have. Furthermore Ive tried to dissect the firmware using Binwalk (which I usually find very helpful) but more than a rather flat entropy graph (1) I havent been able to deduce from it. I hoped to find something that gives some indication how it boots but nope. Sonicos Enhanced 6.5.1.3 12N How To Get ItLuckily theres support for the Octeon MIPS64 platform for some linux and BSD flavors but Ive no clue how to get it on it (apart from the fact that I also have to figure out first what modules to include during the kernel compilation). Im getting afraid that the only way to load some custom stuff in it is using the 32-pin header on the PCB which can be observed in the picture made by dashpuppy. If theres anyone around who likes this project and feels like sharing ideas and thoughts with me, please comment Although it probably wont be very easy, well probably be the first ones hacking into a SonicWall 5th. Should be a good learning experience, but damn if it doesnt sound like its going to be an uphill battle. Good luck on the project though, please post updates as you have them. The SonicWall is running VxWork (from Wind River), its packed into an ELF file and its bootloader is U-Boot (which is quite nice). Being a VxWorks device, the 32-pin header is very very likely a JTAG header and programmed with the Wind River JTAG debuggger. First it seems to be loading the SafeBoot firmware and if the diagnostics button isnt pushed it loads the completenormal SonicWall image. The safeboot firmware probably checks some kind of signature first before loading the full image. Allocating memory for ELF: Base addr, 02000000, size: 0xe000000.
