USB Device With Embedded Fileserver
- by Richard Martinez
I'm attempting to access logs from a proprietary hardware box with no reasonable hope of modifying the software. There is a process on the device to dump log files to a flash drive on the USB port after entering a code sequence.
Currently, analysis of the logs requires the following:
Physical presence at the device
Manual entry of the code sequence
Removal of USB device
Insertion of USB device into a normal Linux box
I'm hoping there is some sort of device that can act as a USB mass storage device but simultaneously make it's contents available as a network file share (wired preferred).
Does such a device currently exist? A combo hardware/software solution would also work.
