Once downloaded, you will need to access your My Cloud and extract the file you just downloaded (should be called btsync_) into your ‘Public’ folder. Firstly you will need to download Bittorrent Sync, specifically the ARM variant.Ģ). Tampering could BRICK your system and VOID your warranty, if you understand the risks, and accept them, lets continue!ġ). I’d like to make you aware that I am unsure of WD’s stance on doing this and your warranty, I would imagine it would void your warranty, and whilst this worked for me I can’t be held responsible if you mess it up or it doesn’t work for you. So, I thought I’d put a little tutorial together with the intention of helping other users who know very little about Linux or SHH etc etc. Personally, I have very very little experience with SHH or Linux, as a result it took me a dreadfully long time to find posts with instructions that I could understand, and all the information I did find was on separate web pages and wasn’t tailored to the My Cloud. It is the read-only secret but with the first character changed from "E" to "F" and truncated to 33 characters.I thought there might be others who would be interested in how to get BTsync on their My Cloud. the machine can download and share the files but not decrypt them, so it can seed but not read them) begins with an "F". A read-only secret for a share supporting encryption begins with an "E" and is 59 characters long.Older versions of btsync will not accept such secrets. At the time of this post, you can't generate one of these from the program, but you can just change the first character from "A" to "D" when you generate a new secret. A read-write secret with encrypted support begins with a "D" and is 33 characters long.A one-time secret (either full or read-only), valid for 24 hours, begins with a "C" and is 33 characters long.A read-only secret begins with "B" and is 33 characters long.A read-write secret ("master secret") currently begins with "A" and is 33 characters long.Some details about the different types of secrets: Nobody can guarantee there is no hidden method that sends your master secrets to NSA, unless the full client source code is opened. ![]() ![]() ![]() This implies the company may change details of implementation (and install arbitrary backdoors as well). For peer discovery the secret is hashed, so the hash can be used to find peers with a matching secret withing having to make the secret public.īefore further reverse-engineering BitTorrent Sync, keep in mind that the software is closed source and it includes routines to automatically update from. In particular this includes a key for encryption of files for transmission between peers. secrets with encrypted peer support for read-only encrypted accessĪs far as I understand (and stated in this thread where someone tried to reverse-engineer the BitTorrent Sync protocol in July 2013) the latter three types of secrets can be derived from the master secret.one-time secrets (both full access and read-only).Simple laws of probability make it virtually impossible to guess. As stated by BitTorrent (see also the user guide), the secret is a randomly generated key of 20 bytes or more.
