After a good few years I decided to update the OpenWRT install guide for Xiaomi routers, I needed to update the method for new versions of software and gave me a chance to fix some points missed in the original video. I will add more to this blog post later but for now, you are all interested in the terminal command which follows:

After install of ubuntu copy and paste 1 line at a time:

su
sudo apt install update
sudo apt dist-upgrade
sudo apt install git pip python3
git clone https://github.com/acecilia/OpenWRTInvasion.git
cd OpenWRTInvasion
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
python3 remote_command_execution_vulnerability.py

At this point, you will need to input your router’s details password default password and router IP address then follow along with the Cyberduck FTP upload then:

telnet IP-OF-YOUR-ROUTER
cd /tmp
mtd -e OS1 -r write openwrt.bin OS1
