After getting sshd working (https://easyos.org/forum/showthread.php ... 93#pid1193), I tried Mike's portable BackSeatDriver http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... c5b31f4e73 Downloaded the tarball to / in a ram boot/drives disabled EasyOS bootup and extracted/ran it.

Worked great.

Whilst that is relatively secure (ram booted from usb with usb unplugged after bootup, and no access to the HDD's), it does still leave the network vulnerable, for instance I can brute force or otherwise attack the visible router admin/login. In other cases I'd tend to boot using kvm/qemu where the host had dropped (iptables rules) access to the routers IP, such that even root within the guest (where backseatdriver is run) wouldn't be able to remote those iptables rules.

Basically, looking for a means where kernel lockdown (EasyOS booted to ram/HDD's disconnected), might also be restricted in additional ways, such as even the guest root id not being able to override iptables rules.

Thanks for this Barry.

Updated smoothly from 2.4.1 with the script on my usb installation.

BluePup worked right away to pair and play music with a cheap travel speaker.

Cheers!

Regarding BluePup, sending files to a phone and receiving files from a phone, is broken in 2.4.92.

I have fixed both send and receive, see blog post:
