I’ve not used this tool before but a quick look at the homepage found me the Quick Start Guide on github. The first tool I decided to use was binwalk in order to see if could do any magic for me.

As of writing (24th Nov 2015) the latest version is 1.8.07.343 (known in the X-sight community just as 343). Unfortunately I lost the link for the repo, but that was after I downloaded the bins myself first. I managed to find a repo online contain all the version of the firmware for the ATN X-sight. Well before the scope arrived I started to play with the firmware using common *nix tools. When you look through the scope you get a reticle and some extra information at the top such as wifi status, gps status, bearing (compass), time and so on…Įxternally the device has a battery compartment, microSD port (32GB max), microUSB (Micro-B USB) and a microHDMI out.įor more details about the device and how it works see the online manual here. I know you’re by now wondering what this scope looks like so I better give you a photo of the thing.

I hope the Black Label Gunpowder Proof rum tasted good? AP, if you’re reading this many thanks for the sight. I managed to pick up a second hand ATN X-Sight from a fellow shooter in the shooting community for a bargain price. When ATN stop supporting this product (and they will) members of that group will be running to guys like me for help in order to continue getting life out of the product.Īnyway, back to the point. Many people do it in order to improve the device. Playing with a device that I own is not against the law. Side note: Well, I ended up getting banned, and I’m not sure by which admin, didn’t even give me a warning.

Has anyone modified the stock firmware to offer extra functionality?.

Has anyone been able to look into the firmware binaries?.

What services are running on the scope?.

Can you role back the ATN firmware to an older version?.

Over the course of a few months I asked questions such as: Before I splashed the cash I did some research on the device first and found a helpful (until I got banned) group devoted to these scopes on Facebook. As an avid shooter already I had seen one of these scopes at my local store, and decided that they were pretty neat and at a price point that I could afford that would allow me to enter the night vision world. Well this is where the ATN X-sight came in to play.

This meant that it was possible to aim at one target but the bullet to hit somewhere else. What was identified in this talk was that it was possible to remotely change the point of impact of the bullet by adjusting the ballistic coefficient of the round within the riflescope settings. Hacking A Linux-Powered Rifle) I got interested and wanted to know what was in budget for some rifle hacking myself. So after watching a talk at Defcon 23 about the Tracking Point rifle scope ( When IoT Attacks:
