Nokia/Alcatel-Lucent router backup configuration tool
#!/usr/bin/env python3
#
# Nokia/Alcatel-Lucent router backup configuration tool
# G2425 support added by rajkosto on 20/11/2022
# XS-2426G-B support added by rajkosto on 28/02/2023
#
# Features:
# - Unpack/repack .cfg files generated from the backup and restore functionnality
# in order to modify the full router configuration
# - Decrypt/encrypt the passwords/secret values present in the configuration

the bin/sh trick was patched after 3FE49362IJHK46 you can still change the password for ONTUSER by setting ONTUSER as the username in TelnetSshAccount section, and whatever password you want, and then enabling ONTUSER to drop into busybox instead of vtysh by setting LimitAccount_ONTUSER to false if you are getting invalid config when importing, make sure you are using the exact commandline the script tells you to use when you unpacked (important, because it contains the key to encrypt with) otherwise, you can try just naming it config.cfg

i tried to setup ONTUSER in telnet ssh and already set Boolean for LimitAccount_ONTUSER to false
but still won't be able to get the shell because it again asking for password2 please help me how can i find it or how can i get shell access for nokia G-2425G-A SERIAL NUMBER ALCLB3AD4352
SOFTWARE VERSION 3FE49362JJIJ54

what is the password for shell? I've tried everything to get the root access but nothing worked for me. If anyone know the password2 please let us know.
I appreciate Your prompt response!
Thank You!

Hello sir @rajkosto i am getting an File invalid error! while importing config.cfg file to the router please help sir how to get rid of it or just help me to understand what is going on!!!

@Infmous0099 were you able to resolve this issue? I am facing same issue.

all done, but after importing it says "Upload Failed: File Invalid!"
kindly help

Did you try changing the filename to "config.cfg" before uploading? The router does not accept any other names for config file.

I am having the same "Upload Failed: File Invalid!" Issue can anyone share the Boolean values? I think that might be a problem.
