NAS-Central Weblog

Quoted from the article General_NAS_customisation_guide:

“The time when i started hacking on my first NAS (the first generation Linkstation) in 2005 there was no general article or guide how to hack it at all. The only thing that was existing at these days were reviews. Actually many NAS-hacking-communities have emerged the past years with wikis/forums/mailings lists….but still nobody ever wrote a general article about how to start hacking them, and what should be done to channel development efforts and how to start a new community. This article should cover exactly this, treat it as a source of base information and as a loose guide as all devices are different and many things have to be redone each time for each new box. As NAS are embedded devices you can use this guide for hacking your embedded router as well.

I hope others are joining me in the challenge of creating this guide“

In case you already have a NAS device (or if you plan to buy a NAS because of christmas), take a look at the global NAS hacking communities overview. This page was created to help you to find the right NAS community (which hacks your box) or to support you if you are investigating which NAS devices are supported by a community.
