FAQ

Can I buy hacktribe?

The patch will always be free (as in beer) and I can't distribute pre-patched firmware due to copyright. If you want to support the project financially you are very welcome to become a sponsor, see How to support hacktribe for more details.

Will hacktribe be updated?

Hacktribe will continue to be updated. Anything labeled enhancement is something I have some idea how to approach. Some of these may turn into features some day.

When will there be a stable version?

This will always be a hack. Each new feature is a bug.

How do I upgrade hacktribe?

Apply the latest patch to factory sampler firmware 2.02 every time. You can upgrade hacktribe without flashing back to factory firmware.

Can you add X feature?

Probably not, but I might try. Small changes to existing features are much easier than big changes and new features.

How can I patch the firmware from a Windows OS?

I don't know a lot about Windows. I found bsdiff for Windows which appears to provide bsdiff and bspatch executables. I haven't tried these.

How to apply the patch for a total noob?

See #41.

What the hash is a checksum?

Before patching the firmware, sha256 hash of SYSTEM.VSB should match the hash in hash/SYSTEM.VSB.sha. This proves you have the correct version of the factory firmware.

After patching the firmware, sha256 hash of hacked-SYSTEM.VSB should match the hash in hash/hacked-SYSTEM.VSB.sha. This proves you have the same modified firmware I have tested.
