====== Blu-ray Players ======

Devices meant to play Blu-rays (and DVDs 99% of the time). Their OSes are usually Linux-based, with CPUs that are either MIPS or ARM, although MIPS appears to be much more common.

==== Operating Systems (ARM, MIPS?) ====
=== Linux ===
>So yes, it is running Linux of a late 2.6 kernel.

This is less so of a hack, but more just an exploration of what these little Blu-Ray players are doing, considering they’re all based off Linux.

==== Other ====
=== DOOM port ===
>(Cibyl MIPS-to-Java) using the PS3 BD-J SDK.

This is primarily meant for the PS3’s Blu-Ray integration, but it is known to work on other players that are not necessarily PlayStation related at all.

===== LG BPxxx series =====

==== Operating Systems (MIPS?) ====
=== Linux ===
>A bug exists in the MTK supplied SDK which affects many players, including the BP530

These devices already run Linux, and this exploit is not particularly related to creating a fully fledged Linux system. However, it is possible on both the BP350 and BP530 (plus many others), to access a telnet server with root. The methods vary, but they usually involve a flash drive and a file named in a way that fools the player.

===== Panasonic DMP-BDT230 =====

==== Operating Systems (MIPS?) ====
=== Linux ===
>There is a command sanitization bug within the Network Share "folder name" field

Similar to the BPxxx series’ listing, this is simply an exploit that allows the user to do some root executions on this device. Here, it is possible to execute commands as root through a vulnerable network share interface.

===== Sony BDP-Sxxxx series =====

==== Operating Systems (MIPS?) ====
=== Linux ===
>there is a small amount of ram to buffer the blue ray drive

It’s very locked down, but it definitely runs Linux. Certain models, such as the S5100, have a few exploiteers found methods for attaining further control. In that particular case, the S5100 has a telnet server w/ root that can be accessed.
