device

name	value
model	`LM 37X8`
product	`CLOCK`
firmware	API `2.0.0`, OS `1.7.1`
features	WiFi enabled clock

the TIME LM 37X8 is a 'smart' clock that features:

internet connectivity to download apps, exchange information
bluetooth controller to use the internal speaker
clock with multiple alarms
web radio tuner
timer
stopwatch

initial configuration is similar to Chromecast's, it stands up a WiFi network named LM7*** based on the serial number of the device.

download the Android/iOS lamteric app and walk through connecting it to another wireless network - they do some external access checks with:

ntp requests to 0.pool.ntp.org
dns resolution of developer.lametric.com
icmp requests to developer.lametric.com

which has made tricking the device into talking to another endpoint has been unsuccessful so far, as it also appears to do SSL certification verification, so sslstrip isn't seeing anything.

through lametric's developer site, once the device is registered, the API key necessary for talking to the device is displayed

digging

nmap

from nmap -PN -p 1-65535 -sV 172.16.42.219, we get:

PORT     STATE SERVICE VERSION
22/tcp   open  ssh         Dropbear sshd 2014.66 (protocol 2.0)

Service Info: OS: Linux; CPE: cpe:/o:linux:linux_kernel

ssh, 4 web servers (likely 2, one each of HTTP and HTTPS), 2 unknowns and a Linux fingerprint. for a clock.

curl

so something is listening there, and it's spitting back JSON, but we don't have credentials yet.

different port, potentially the same underlying service/data, but this time - does not appear to require credentials.

wireshark

see some communication between the device and it's mobile app:

this port seems to change, but is easy to find as is part of an SSDP UPNP broadcast

mobile app

by changing the weather settings, we see:

GET /premium/v1/weather.ashx?q=<parameters> HTTP/1.1
Host: api.worldweatheronline.com
Accept: */*

parameters broken down:

Potrero District, United States of America&
num_of_days=2&
format=json&
fx=yes&
cc=yes&
mca=no&
fx24=no&
tp=24&
includelocation=yes&
showlocaltime=yes&&
extra=isDayTime,utcDateTime&
key=<redacted>

looks like a premium API key to world weather online

API

looking at some docs from lametric, was able to determine that the api lives at http://device:port/api/v2

authing with dev and \<api key\>, was got the expected list of routes:

{
  "api_version": "2.0.0",
  "endpoints": {
    "audio_url": "https://172.16.42.219:4343/api/v2/device/audio",
    "bluetooth_url": "https://172.16.42.219:4343/api/v2/device/bluetooth",
    "concrete_notification_url": "https://172.16.42.219:4343/api/v2/device/notifications{/:id}",
    "current_notification_url": "https://172.16.42.219:4343/api/v2/device/notifications/current",
    "device_url": "https://172.16.42.219:4343/api/v2/device",
    "display_url": "https://172.16.42.219:4343/api/v2/device/display",
    "notifications_url": "https://172.16.42.219:4343/api/v2/device/notifications",
    "widget_update_url": "https://172.16.42.219:4343/api/v2/widget/update{/:id}",
    "wifi_url": "https://172.16.42.219:4343/api/v2/device/wifi"
  }
}

cool, so we can talk to the API successfully now - unfortunately, there isn't much that appears interesting on the surface, at least from an attack vector.

firmware

searching around for their firmware, the latest version shown was 1.7.7 - apparently they version OS and API separately.

binwalk shows us that the file is a nested squashfs:

lots of interesting bits:

what look like lametric QA email addresses
despite ability to use htpasswd or htdigest, they use plaintext
automatically installs /etc/install/*.ipk
automatically makes all application configuration data readable by all users
2 wifi controllers allow for it to act as a hotspot
it's using an SD card as primary (?) storage
it has a keyboard controller, does not appear specific to the 3 buttons
like most devices, has an easily accessible glob/regex of 'allowed' firmware names
why is there an alarm set for 15:22:49?
what is the test that happens when we run lmledtool -t

unfortunately, many of the files mentioned live in /lametric/data/configs which is mostly unpopulated in the firmware squashfs, so will need to revisit once the root hash is cracked.

find all keys and try to use them to ssh in? /Users/conor/git/h4ck/lametric/squashfs-root/squashfs-root/etc/wireless-regdb/pubkeys/linville.key.pub.pem /Users/conor/git/h4ck/lametric/squashfs-root/squashfs-root/etc/ssl/private/192.168.0.180.key
