I used wireshark to capture the traffic, and looked thru the pcap for the area that looked like the updating, and gave the packet numbers and the pcap to claude code to find the details of how it worked instead of scribbling notes for an hour or two i’d guess

I’m very used to doing this stuff manually for various devices and software, but am also interested in tracking llm progress, and it seemed simple enough to get a rundown of what was happening while I did other work.

It was the first time I have messed around with hid devices though, so that was aided by claude

and yeah i’ve been bit by having to google how to get mkpasswd dozens of times over the years and used to have to do a lot of rootfs editing on a mac, so I got used to doing it in a container.

no real reason for wanting pw auth, I ended up turning it off afterwards but it’s been a bit since I wrote this

thanks for the comment!
