Yeesh - please stop and think before responding again.
I am not looking for software to install on my PC, nor am I looking for the firmware.
The linkstation mini is a small computer with a 1TB disk drive that is sold as a NAS. To provide NAS services, and also to provide a web interface to configure/control the disk, it runs some version of Linux. With me so far?
When I purchased my Linkstation mini, on the 1TB disk there was software (that software is part of linux. It includes a web server, telent, and other linux software). Undoubtedly when the devices are sold, there is a master image that is simply unzip'd, or untar'd onto each disk before it is shipped out.
My linkstation mini was hacked. Someone got root access and possibly installed some software, possibly disguised as one of the standard linux applications.When it boots up, it could be running that software.
All I want to do is find a copy of what is put on the disk when the machine is shipped out.
