Nimue

Nimue is a simple Python script for jailbreaking Sony Bravia TVs.

Intended audience

This is largely obsolete; shortly after this script was first published, Sony released firmware version aa0206pf, which was forcibly installed and closed the target service on the TV.

To that end, this repository is kept largely for historical and educational reasons. However, should you have a TV that is affected, this script is useful in getting a root shell on the TV.

Affected TVs

Any Sony Bravia TV, which has not had a firmware update since 2012, and which has TCP port 12345 open, should be affected.

How to use

Download the repository to your local computer, and run the 'nimue.py' script under Python 2.7(!), passing as first argument the IP address of the TV on your local network that you wish to access. Note that the exploit opens other TCP connections; for best results, ensure no firewall between your computer and the TV.

Once the exploit is done, you will be given a port to connect to on Telnet. Note that the Telnet service is not secured; it gives a root shell immediately.
